Grid View Broken in Mediabrowser under Chrome when Zoom != 100%

[Former user]

Under Windows Chrome Version 47.0.2526.106, Grid view displays the name of the resource and/or the Media for an instant and then clears them. Applicable to All Media types. See screen captures contrasting Grid & List views

I cannot reproduce this with the same Chrome version. Can you try it again with beta 1.6 and cleared browser cache?

[Former user]

I will try to install 1.6 this week.

BTW, I do not use grid view and only found this while debugging another users problem.

FYI, the blank line only happens when MB.js executes <div class="thumbnailMainTitle" ellipsis="{{item.title}}"></div> in <div class="thumbnailMainTitle" ellipsis="{{item.title}}"></div> and if the title spans 2 lines, the first line shows and the second has its bottom cut off.

Also the line after that is incorrect. <div class="thumbnailSubTitle" ng-show="!isContainer && item.fileType === \'AUDIO\'">{{item.album}}</div> album is redundant to main heading and should be <div class="thumbnailSubTitle" ng-show="!isContainer && item.fileType === \'AUDIO\'">{{item.artist}}</div>

Also, I am trying to display the "Album Artist" under the "Album Title" in the "Albums" category for both Grid and list views. This is necessary to distinguish duplicate "Album Titles" like "Greatest Hits". Is it returned when Albums are browsed? item.artist appears to be blank but artist it is returned as the item.title in the "Album Artists" category so it should be available.

Would you believe... I changed the <div class="thumbnailMainTitle" ellipsis="{{item.title}}"></div> referenced above to <div class="thumbnailMainTitle" >"{{item.title}}"</div> to make it consistent with the other "Main Title" lines and the problem went away. What was the ellipsis intended to do?

[Petr Nejedly]

Ellipsis adds '...' after the trimmed title

I've updated pont 2) - replace album with artist in the grid view.

Still cannot reproduce point 1 - even for multiple lines it works for me. Are you sure you don't have some zoom in your browser?

Point 3 - no, album artist is not passed in the CDS API. Compilation albums will be sorted in #779

[Former user]

Bingo.. zoom set to anything less than 100% in Chrome causes first text line under each grid box to blink then disappear and over 100% the lines get clipped. This should not happen..under IE all lines display correctly at all zoom values.

Re point 3 - Using CDS API I get:

2015-12-20 23:55:12,329 DEBUG [LogService] Processing request to: http://localhost:23424/cds/browse/android/A_ALB/BrowseDirectChildren/all/0/16?

but only only Album Name is returned. Where is the track count and ALBUM_ARTIST?

but Bubble Upnp issues :

and gets all values and is able to display ALBUM_ARTIST on second line under Album Title which qualifies redundant Album Titles like "Greatest Hits" with the "Artists Name" and makes them meaningful..

Do I need to report this as a bug?

Compilation albums is a different issue.

[Petr Nejedly]

Yes please, report 3 as a separate enhancement. It's probably just not sent via the CDS API, but it is via DLNA.

[Former user]

Raised #895 for point #3. Note the call was missing in the above code blocks. Fixed to show the CDS "all" call and the DLNA "*" call.

[Petr Nejedly]

Resolved by removing JavaScript based ellipsis (which didn't recalculate when the zoom changed) and replacing it with CSS based one. It only works on WebKit browsers, though. IE and Firefox just cut the line and don't show the '...'.
