Can't get Pocketpedia TV to work right

Post by randian »

1) It only seemed to sync with Bookpedia and ignored the other pedias. For example, only Bookpedia smart collections are showing up.
2) There doesn't seem to be any way to force it to check for and sync with the other pedias.
3) There are a lot of missing covers and it's unclear if they haven't synced or syncing is slower-than-sloth slow.
4) There is no top-level menu with all the pedias as items like there is in Pocketpedia for iOS

Thanks for the feedback and the bug report on Pocketpedia TV. We did try to make it a bit more magical with less interface and sync in the background. Here some detail on what should be happening, but will test the current beta.

1) Should sync all of them in order, once it's done with Bookpedia it should move on to the other Pedias. You can turn off Bookpedia for testing, this way it should find one of the other Pedias to sync against first. Do restart the other Pedias as well, just for debugging and testing.
2) Should happen on launch of the app and every time it comes to the front, it should check if it needs syncing.
3) The covers are done in the background, depends on your network, but should not take to long on a home network.
4) Once there more than one Pedia synced, you should get a new menu on the top left that says "Bookpedia" (the current Pedia). From that menu you can switch between media to the others.

There's no visual or other evidence that the app is trying to sync anything beyond the initial sync of Bookpedia. I even launched it after waking the ATV from sleep just to be sure.

In that case, the sync wasn't slow it simply failed with a bunch of missing covers.

Since it doesn't seem to be syncing that of course doesn't appear.
