[Addon] RuneUI Enhancement

R101

Hi rern,

I am afraid it does not make any difference whether the line is there or not. The text scrolls on my Firefox desktop, as well as the Android Tablet.

I have tried deleting and recreating the bookmark.

The bookmark was the first item on the Library page before the problem update, afterwards it had moved to last item.

Hi there,

I love the enhanced UI. But the problem is, when I use my local browser (which I prefer) and when I play webradio, my RPI 3B is directly throttling. This is only the case when I am in the playback screen. I find it kinda strange because it is not the most difficult task to perform for this CPU I guess.

Already tried to set turboboost to 0 and to put GPU-mem at 32/64/128/512 but that did not resulted in a solution.

Can you recommend any settings in my config?
And if not, is it possible to have the option to turn off the animated VU meter? (would be a pitty, but then at least I could enjoy the rest of the eye candy)...

My configuration:
RPI 3B, Hifiberry Dac Plus, fast 32GB card, hooked up to receiver and tv, bluetooth disabled, webradio via WiFi
RuneAudio. 0.5B build 10 (tried 7 and 9 with same results)

Any suggestions?

thanks in advance

Simon

SSH command: top will show you which one is consuming your CPU cycles. (Sort the list by press shift-R key.)

The VU meter is just a 120KB gif file.

Hi rern,

adding/deleting CoverArt-Bookmarks don´t work anymore. It seems to work only on "normal" bookmarks. If you delete a CoverArt-Bookmark the bookmark still remains even after reload.

Edit: After starting a webradio-playback it works now. *strange*
Previous test was with empty playlist ...

Where are CoverArt-Bookmarks stored (to manually remove, if needed)?

regards, Andy

There are some bugs in bookmarks arrangement and renaming which just have been fixed. To be released with next update.

thumbnail.jpg files for coverart bookmarks are right there in each bookmarked directory.
- Delete - show star icon
- Replace - force bookmarks to show replaced images
- Add - show images instead of icon for directories without coverart files / embedded

@[deleted] looking at my screenshot, can you point down where the unusual CPU-load comes from? I googled the PSID but can't find anything.

Thanks in advance

It's animation things that RPi doesn't do it well.
Blinking dots and animated VU meter. A simple CSS keyframes rule and a small animated gif are what it takes to consume that high CPU cycles. (while it can render HD movies just fine.)

So for local browsers, Midori or Chromium, I'll replace both with static ones instead.

Hi rern,

thanks for your effort! This version is a really fine one.

One thing: If mp3-title is not tagged, library don' t show a bold song name - If I remember correctly, in older versions filename was shown instead.
Bug or changed behaviour?

Hi Rern,

Thanks for your work !

On my official 7" touchscreen with v 0.4b, the "Screen Off" option doesn’t work correctly (there is still an active light on the screen) and the UI isn't reactivated when you tap on the screen. Without RuneUI Enhancement, it works perfectly.

Regards,

Hi rern,

some new (old?) issues with latest version:
- m3u.-files don´t work correct. You can dive in - but adding some songs to playlist has no effect.
- if a m3u-file is in a folder, CoverArt in library don´t work there
- navigation in CoverArt-Browsing is not correct on albums with "dummy"-CoverArt. Steps to reproduce:
1. Start CoverArt-browsing
2. browse to an album with dummy-CoverArt
3. go back with back-button
4. go back a second time with back-button -> target is albumlist instead of main-library.

regards, Andy

After today's update the menu item "Playback Items" results in a pop-up window (https://www.magentacloud.de/lnk/lPBJqDmc) without any function. Same is true for "Library Items".

Additionally, a feature request:
Most of the contents of my RuneAudio server is classical music. I don't arrange the music according disks but according composers and their works. If the contents of e.g. a CD is music from different composers, then the different works will be stored at different leaves of my music tree, but with the same CD cover. As a consequence, the new searching by CoverArt, although very impressive in general, is of a very reduced significance in my environment because it does not securely point to the envisaged work. Therefore I kindly ask to make the CoverArt tile in the library menu configurable.

Fixed. Thank you, rern.

"Sort CoverArts by artist" is present in the list of "Libary Home Items" (typo!), but corresponding tile does not disappear.

Typo fixed.
Tell me more on the "but corresponding tile does not disappear".

I misinterpreted "Sort CoverArts by artist". Sorry.
What I really asked for: I don't want to see CoverArt tile in the Library Menu, because of the special layout of my music server (see explanation above).

Hi Rern,

The "Screen off" function now works perfectly on my 7" touch screen with Rune 0.4. I think it's better to leave the manual button "Screen off" in case you only want to occasionally turn off the screen or you want a longer time (I saw someone here who wanted the screen to be turned off after two hours).
Some issues :
- Webradios no longer work
- When you want to save a playlist and name it, there is no longer a keyboard on the local touch screen (you must do it remotely)
- When loading a playlist, only the icons are displayed (no title), and they are inactive.

Regards,
Garrido33
