Main Menu Icons not visible (top line) using 2.80B3
Posted: 2016-05-30, 19:11 UTC
I am using TC on a media player with standard Android Lollipop (not the Android TV Leanback version run on many media players).
Media Players using Android typically don't have a TOP notification area as Android based Smart Phones all have. It is mostly disabled as it gets in the way of media player images annoying many users. APP's are typically full screen.
So workarounds are often needed when running APP's developed with smartphones in mind.
I have 2 problem:
1) On the top line with Total Commander on the left there are no Main Menu Icons on the right. This is neither the case for the Media Player (TC Media Player on the left). As there is no notification area this is essential. Using the same 2.80b3 version on my Samsung S5 they do appear and work correctly.
2) There must be a hidden main Media Player menu somewhere as you talk about showing artwork. I only get the playlist overview. Using both platforms that is the same. No idea what to do to show detailed info on the actual song being played.
The missing Main Menu icons for TC were bypassed by adding the available button for it. To access Media Player directly another button was added. Thanks to JohnFredC asking for the how to do that. No bypass was found on the forum for the missing Media Player Menu (no way found to save a Playlist without this menu being available).
