UI test and issues

[balbuze]

with the last commit 159b313 there is a problem with the configuration menu : it is hidden by some element and can't be selected

edit : not only the right menu, the play back next button as well

[volumio]

Yep we're aware of the issues and working to solve them...
It would be great if you could make up a list of issues so we can have them all in case we miss some..

thanks

Ok I start a list here, that can be completed by anyone finding something wrong. Or if you want it to be different, let me know. I'll add element if I find problem
EDIT Monday, 7th March
Both UI
When added to favourite the icon heart turn green. When click to remove, it remains green
The playback button keep a grey background when unselected ( other turn black)
With 2 devices, 2 multiroom rectangle. If change the name of one device, 3 multiroom appears, and no way to remove the old one
Desktop UI

2 -when several file in the queue, with random on , if you stop playing, pressing next button launch play and you can't go to previous.
4 - When removing a device, multiroom frame never disappears

Mobile UI
4 - see prob 2 in desktop UI
6 - network drives path - state - size does not fit in the screen
7 - Song with name of file containing "'" are not displayed with album art (ok in desktop UI)
8 - see prob 4 in desktop UI
9 - volume slider should disappears after some time (5sec)
10 - what is the trigger to use desktop UI or mobile UI ? because on my old Moto Xoom running KK4.4.4 desktop UI is used even in portrait mode = lot of unused space. Maybe a setting to force the use of one or the other UI?
11 - to access setting, clic gears on right bottom, to close setting clic cross top right. Maybe a slide to right would be better
12 - with no multiroom, a track with a long name ( 3 lines) and the bottom button are hidden by the play button and can't scroll down

overlap problem (related above)

I'll tag on here rather than start a new issue.

1. Its very easy to confuse the volume control. Clicking the decrease and increase icons quickly can cause it just jump back and forth. When it jumps, it loses 1 so you end up with 29, 39, 49 etc. If you set it to zero again it will do 0, 10 , 20, 30... until it jumps again and it will jump back to 29.
2. The icons are not central in the boxes beneath the dials.
3. Purely for look
   #playerButtons .playPause { border: solid 3px #54c698; height: 60px; width: 60px; }
   looks a bit nicer to my eye.
4. I would say that some control are still just too small for mobile. In particular the pop-over control when browsing the music library (play, add to queue, add to playlist). Example > http://i.imgur.com/VOsUV1W.png
5. It would be nice if the speaker icon was green when the slider was open.
6. Some of the album art it is retrieving is really low resolution and it doesn't look that great. Especially on high resolution phone screens.
7. On mobile the actual play progress wheel is a bit clunky when you try and skip ahead in the track.
8. Logo would probably be better and clearer if it was white. Added one for you.

1. Repeat and Random icons do not stay green when turned on.
2. No playlist or queue position of the current track anywhere.

Not an issue, but I think by making the actual progress of each dial thinner like in the mock ups on invisionapp you can make the inner part of the dial quite a bit larger and increase the font size of the information being displayed. I tested it on my Amazon Fire HD7 which is primarily what i use to control volumio and the dial just looks a bit small and lost.

1- not a bug just advice : playback command are placed a the bottom and browse/playback/queue at the top. Why ? it was coherent with desktop UI.

I believe that decision was made for usability. It puts the controls closer to your thumb on larger phones. The reason why just about every other music playing app does the same thing.

update list of issues (post 3)
edit : found the reason of the problem 7 in mobilelUI

[apinner]

A couple more that i have come across.

1. When using a mouse scroll wheel on the volume knob, the position changes but the numbers do not.
2. When you turn repeat and shuffle on the icons do not remain green.
3. Mute doesn't seem to change anything in the UI.

It becomes better and nicer nearly hours after hours ! And I want to congratulate this amazing work !

[apinner]

nice to see you trying out my branch!

I need to fix that play button issue.. my fix for the opacity doesn't work when it shifts to the bottom. :/

That long name issue is a difficult one as i think thats going to always be a problem. I wonder if we need to do something like text-overflow: ellipsis; for when titles get over a certain length?

[balbuze]

Yes, there is small adjustements... But already very promising. For the long text maybe what your are saying ( but I don't know), or maybe a way is to display only the beginning, let's say the first 2 lines or a fixed number of characters.
