Issue playing extras using OSMC skin?

Help and Support Vero V

Apologies if I’ve not been paying attenion, however I can’t seem to play extras accessed as part of the movie information on the OSMC skin. I know this used to work. Is it a know issue please?

If I navigate to one of the extras using the OSMC file manager they seem to play OK, so it’s not the extras themselves.

Thank you.

Not that we’re aware of.
If you switch to the Estuary skin, does it work as expected?

Yes, Estuary seems to work fine. I get a menu with a play option, which works as expected.

What does happen when you do the same with the OSMC Skin - could describe the process and maybe illustrate with a screenshot?
I don’t have a setup with extras atm, so can’t test myself. When I implemented the feature everything did work without issues though…

Estuary gives me this with a menu where I can select play:-

OSMC Skin gives me this where I can move the selection up and down, however there’s no respons to play, select, context menu or anything else from the remote:-

Does that make it clearer please?

Thanks for pointing me to this issue! I screwed up quite a lot when implementing this… It should be fixed now:

I’d appreciate it if you could test this and provide feedback before we potentially release this as an update to other users. To test this update:

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Run the following command to add the staging repository:
    echo 'deb http://apt.osmc.tv bullseye-devel main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list
  3. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  4. Your system should have have received the update.

Please see if the issue is resolved.

I also recommend you remove /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list after updating.

This will deactivate the staging repository. You can do so with the following command:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-devel.list.

Please note that we will automatically disable this update channel after 14 days on your device in case you forget to do so to ensure that your system reverts to the stable update channel.

Apologies for the delay in responding. Updating to the staging repo as instructed has resolved the issue. A play option is addded to the bottom menu which is highlighted when I press select on an extra in the list. Play functions as expected. Little time to regression test other functionality, however a cursory check hasn’t thrown up anything. Thank you very much for fixing it so quickly.

Perfect! That’s what I had expected to happen during your tests. Looks to be working correctly :+1:t2: Thx for the feedback.
