HT5 v5.0.68 Beta Version (UPDATED)

just copy the link for this firmware and paste it in the top bar, then change the 6 in the firmware number to a 8 and voila the next firmware

https://apidl.zidoo.tv/app/poster/zidoo_poster_S928_v5.0.48.apk

 

It's not the next version, it's an internal test.

 

Updated to v5.0.50 on first page.

 

Nice. Poster is now resized and not just cropped when using dynamic background. Good job!

 

V5.0.50 got some good improvements!!
Sorting for unmatched folder doesn’t work in most of the categories specially in the date of adding, That’s the most important in such folder to find the first in the group all new unmatched files.

 

@Markswift2003 - 1st bug feedback - choose film, select 1st actor from the bottom right list, goes to bring up list of other films and then crashes back to main HT5 interface screen (only seems to be on certain films - maybe those that were scanned from NFO? - checking now).

Edit: seems random so far (which we know it won't be)....still checking.

Edit 2: Odd - seems to happen (so far) with anything with Brad Pit or Steven Seagal - still checking....

 

Steven Seagal I can understand, but not Brad Pit.

 

Can you try your end?

There must be either a pattern or other cause....and no idea at the moment.

 

Certainly - I'll have a go later - I only use NFO and cast cross referencing doesn't work with NFOs so I'll have to use a non NFO dummy library.

 

So first off I tried with my standard library which as I say is all NFO scraped.

This allows you to access the Cast Details page but there are no relational links to other movies which is the only downside to using NFO scraping.

I tried a load of films, including Brad Pit (sorry, no Steven Seagal I'm not ashamed to say) and all allowed me to access the cast details page for either the first actor or indeed any of the other cast members.

Then I did a full reset HT and scanned in a dummy library of 500 titles using online scraping and in this case because it was online scraped I can access the relational info and see the movies associated with the cast members - and again, I tried a shed load of them and all opened the cast member details page fine.

 

Already installing version 5.0.48 I solved the problem of the missing icon in the collection. Now I will install this new update. Thank you.

 

Just tested this new version and it works great. After a rescan with imdb, the ratings on the posters magically appeared. Very satisfied!

 

Very nice to see the efforts with ht5.. and the quick releases to correct issues...
Thanks all involved... nice job!

 

Odd, I must have some minor db corruption my end.
Thanks for testing.

 

It's quite possible given the changes in the database from v4 to v5.

I'm continually fully resetting my database so it's generally completely clean.

 

So you scan from scratch, or do you mean something else?

 

I reset in HT in HT Settings/Data Manager/Clear Data > CLEAR the change HT settings to my preferences and rescan (I use NFO and local art). The whole process takes me less than 2 minutes not including the scan which takes a further 10 minutes for approx. 600 movies. That's chosing which widgets to display, setting custom widget images, setting the order of items on the home screen, wallpaper, changing preferences to what I like etc. It's all muscle memory now - I could almost do it blindfold!

 

Ah, ok, a clean house - It's an option I may use, as some point.
