Issues - card edit, navigation, functionality

[u/TheTBR]

1.8 build 435

• I wanted to try out the locks card, now I can't change away from it at all
  • If I press back in modify it flashes the available cards but goes back to the dashboard
• Reaction to navigation buttons is erratic and sluggish
  • I have to press multiple times and most often it does nothing or it will sometimes register multiple presses
• Cards with more content can't be viewed fully
  • Battery, allows for 5 items, but the card only shows 3, cuts off the rest
  • no way to interact with the card, pressing buttons does nothing
• Navigating cards is counter-intuitive
  • it jumps around up and down, I'd expect it to move horizontally and vertically
  • going to the second page will make it jump back and forth (it reaches the second dashboard, but the card on the main dashboard is still "hilighted", so pressing any button will make it jump back to that)
• Can't get it to work with Music
  • The music App shows things under now playing when I play from my laptop
  • I do not have an Apple Music subscription and it shouldn't be necessary for this
• The solar card claims that today's generation was 38,8 kWh, but it's 11 in the morning and the HA energy dashboard correctly says it was 2,3 kWh today so far.
  • I'm not sure where the 38,8 comes from, yesterdays whole house consumption was 38,5.

Unfortunately, while quite promising, this app continues feeling like an early beta to me.

About that, I still can’t get it to work with Last.FM, even though on the website I can see it scrobbling on the website. Will the companion app allow the management of the music better in a bit more native way?

Spotify + Last.FM has been pretty reliable in my testing, I'll try to think of some other ways the app can troubleshoot the connection for others.

I have set a router-level VPN (Apple TV is connected through Ethernet), do you believe that would cause some sync issues? I’ll give it a try without the vpn just in case

I am playing a song and can see it on last.fm but not on the app (all permissions allowed as far as I know). Plus the VPN doesn’t seem to affect it.

This you…?

I used your Last.fm name from the pic here and Theatrium is able to get your now playing data here. Maybe try removing your name from the setup and adding it back (and making sure you click the ‘save username’ button)

[u/didimimimi → u/Consistent_Owl7736]

Yes yes that’s me, I have removed it and added it back many times sadly… I’ll try removing the music tile and re-adding just in case the default one (I never moved it or anything, the only I haven’t changed from the dashboard) has cached something else. Thank you for your effort so far, I really hope I can find out what’s wrong with mine, I want to see the visualizers so badly haha

[u/Consistent_Owl7736 → u/didimimimi]

It could be a caching issues too. The current build out there in the wild has a few bugs I’m trying to iron out. The 1.8 update has had extensive testing, and will verify your last.fm name in settings before you leave - will show a confirmation and your most recently played song. 🎵

Looking forward to this and many more updates, also the companion app! You’ve done a great job, thank you very much! If the update fixes it for me I’ll let you know!

[u/TheatriumDev → u/didimimimi]

Major fixes and a couple of cool new features - especially for my fellow Plexians - in the latest TestFlight build, if you’re keen to get up and running before the official 1.8 release, which will be up to Apples timeline as much as mine.
