LMS material skin UI does not appear

Post by MDE »

Just switched to LMS material skin, which looks very nice in a browser but gives a blank view in Muso.
EDIT: This resulted from trying to find a nice solution to the Qobuz/Tidal issue. If the material skin worked then using the player playlist might be a reasonable work-round for LMS users.

I'm not sure I can even install the material skin to try this, I'm constrained to the version of LMS installed on my Vortexbox.Installation as per https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-materi ... nformation doesn't seem to be having any effect.

I think I know why its not rendering (having installed LMS locally for testing), I have logged an issue here:
https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material/issues/389
Though the likelihood of having it fix the issue is not high as on this page the authors say i's not IE/Edge compliant:

not IE/Edge compliant
My interpretation is that they will add the tag but that if the browser is not HTML compliant then there may still be problems. The implication is that IE might be a problem but that Edge might not be. Which does Muso use?
EDIT Superficially it seems to work in Edge OK, but blank screen in IE. So if Muso used Edge it should work.

Muso uses .net so .net drives this. I understand it uses the ie engine but so does edge, it should be html5 compatible if the ie11 or edge meta tag is added, so we,ll have to wait and see if they add it as per my request.

Material Skin 2.1.3 released
"2.1.3 Release
Bug-fix release, changes:

Add meta tag for IE11
Fix light themes for embedded pages - always use main light variant.
Use primary colour for active items with all light themes, as accent is too light.
Hide 'Move to next in queue' menu item for current track.
Try to hide 'Play Next' in 'More' list even if it has no 'style'
Allow LMS docs accessed via http:// SERVER:9000/html/docs/ to scroll when Material set as default."

Regrettably that doesn't fix the non-display issue in Muso's 'playlist on player' view.

EDIT: I also tried it in vanilla IE- again it does not display. 2 errors listed:
SCRIPT1002: Syntax error
material.min.js (62,40)
SCRIPT5009: 'Vue' is undefined
material-deferred.min.js (232,108)

Comment added on Material GitHub, but unsurprisingly the author cannot help with this issue.

Material Skin author seems to be a bit prickly.
I fear I may not be able to help either, but I'll try.
How do you actually get the material skin to act as the default when you go to the LMS playlist?

Material Skin author seems to be a bit prickly.
I think he's OK - just very focused as he does have a lot of queries to deal with. It really is an excellent skin and would work very well, visually, in Muso, so it would be nice to see if we can get it to display.
To set it as the default (after installing the plugin), I just open the LMS settings in a regular browser (Edge works) and go to the interface tab and change it to Material. It will then be the default for Muso. Since it displays OK in Edge, you can change it back again. BTW you can always have Material in a browser app even if the interface is set to Default - see https://cdn.statically.io/gh/d6jg/mater ... Users.html
The errors can also be seen by just opening LMS in IE11 and using the dev tools.
If there is anything you can't do on your set-up, let me know and I'll see if I can help, although my js tech skill is very limited (I can do a bit of Python and PHP but that's no help here!).

I don't know if this helps - seems to be a similar problem, but I'm afraid I don't understand the answers!

Saw your comment https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-materi ... -752621065

How do you try a meta tag change without it being actually deployed in the skin ?

I did try a few things my side, I don't think we'll get this skin to work inside Muso, not unless I want to invest in a .NET chromium browser component which costs more money than Muso has ever earned, or I find an alternative solution (am looking).
