MediaServer V5.2 is now live, with heavily-revised APL content for Echos with screens. Almost all commands now support *touchscreen* interaction giving MediaServer *hybrid voice/touch control* for the best of both worlds (touch is only available under subscription).
First off, the ImageList template (e.g. List Albums, What's Coming Up?) has a new look-and-feel and supports many more image thumbnails in a vertically-scrolling list. If you touch the *coverart* image then the item in question will *play* on the assumed player: 36439 The TextList template now has a play-me icon next to each text-entry which will play the item in question when touched. When relevant, the cover-art from the album in question will fill the screen as a semi-opaque background image: 36440 Listing *favorites* has a new custom template which displays the icon of stations when known, together with the recently-introduced numerical and dotted naming-schemes. Touching the station *icon* framed in blue at the left will *play* the favorite in question on the assumed player: 36441 The 4 beige icons on the *now-playing* screen are now touchable (see the red boundary box below. * When you tap the icon next to the song name, it will bring up a list of all the *albums* in your library that have *that song* on them (that list is then also touch-playable). * The icon next to trackartist will list all the *songs* in your library that have *that artist* as trackartist (likewise touch-playable). * The icon adjacent to the album name will list all the songs on that album (touch-selectable). * Finally, the icon next to the albumartist name will list all the *albums* in your library with that artist as *albumartist*. 36442 There's a new help-screen with better layout/density and some new animation to indicate it's scrollable in the absence of scroll-bars (Amazon doesn't have them): 36443 The back-button at the top-left corner of most APL screens now performs a single browser-back function to the previous APL screen. If you tap it again, it will ping-pong forward a page. Finally, on the Echo Spot with round screen there's a totally new look and feel to all APL screens, with a new purple background and a circular progress-bar around the edge of the screen.
