Custom OUYA Launcher

That would be kind of cool, would you maybe be able to see what the user was last doing? playing game, using an app, using the dashboard. etc? I think it would be useful enough to at least know when they were last online so you can have a small idea whether to expect a reply soon or not to messages.

Could be, yes. But in a non-intrusive way. What I mean by non-intrusive is showing smething like "last played; xxx game, 5 minutes ago" and stuff like that, but without displaying too much info as well.. I suspect some people might mot like it that others can see what they are doing all the time

PS; do you happen to be online about an hour ago? just checking if my server's data is correct..

[Cave Four]

Yes, I was

and yes, I can see where trying to be non intrusive would be of most importance, the example you referred to would be sufficient enough, I believe xbox dash offers similar information, and is widely accepted, but you can always take it to a vote.

v1.0.9 just uploaded;
- After this update, updates can now be turned off
- Added more gfx for buttons/menues/tiles
- Added how many minutes ago the user was online
- Fixed some issues with social fetures
- Recommendations can now be opened
- Removed flip animation
- Slight improovements on flower keyboard (missing chars, cursor, etc)

If I am skipping something important please let me know.. I have the feeling I forgot to include a feature but I am not sure..

Force close after loading too many tiles or downloading a large file

Just downloaded and installed on the latest system update. I immediately get a crash after the main screen appears. Something about get_json, file not found. I can give a more complete error if you need it.

Cool to see that this was made with GameMaker!

Yeah if you could have a complete log or at least a text of the eror it would be great.. usually get_json are parsing errors, maybe because the server send something unexpected or alike.. the only REAL way of knowing where the issue is is with a console log..

Edit: I replicated it, it seems ouya has changed something in their servers and doesn allow me to pull the playlists anymore (the store) ¬¬

Edit 2: Okay.. this is a problem. I set up a chached file until I find a proper/real solution. It seems they added auth to the store files wich I used to retrieve the trending games, playlists and all, so now I cant access them.. (open!? bleh!)

Without this file updated we wont be able to see the new additions to the store, like new featured games or just-added ones.. this is a big issue! I can get on the default launcher and update it manually once every a while, but that sucks, and if I am away for a few days you guys may miss some good stuff on the store

I will try to either replicate OUYA's auth or find a way around it tonight, at worst I may have to re-think the way I gather the games from OUYA's servers.. and an update for that may take a while.

Great to see you're on top of this! Thanks for the quick update!
Still want me to send a log? If yes, is there a way to grab the output without simply taking a picture of my TV?

I have tested the launcher its fantastic the add of the flower keyboard pure genius indeed and i detected a bug on the social section of the launcher when you focus on the add friend button and then get back to the menu part to select another menu you cant do it unless you press the red o button to get back and continue navigating through the menu bar, i dunno if this is how the social part should work but just reporting in case is a bug =)

what are you using to grab the data? For my app I use the json data from here:

https://devs.ouya.tv/api/v1/apps ---> all current games in order of ouya rank with some details

https://devs.ouya.tv/api/v1/apps/<games version from the main list> ---> detailed info for the game version specified

Neither of these use auth but they do lag on occasion.

And I think you missed my question about blurryness

I was using
https://devs.ouya.tv/api/v1/playlists

wich had no auth.. until now XD, the difference between /playlists and /apps is that playlists had it all sorted by playlists already, and it is the one the default launcher is currently using. But I may have to switch to /apps and ditch playlists if I cant get it solved...

Love the launcher but it is blurry like a low res image upscaled. What resolution is this in?

Its in 960x540, 1080p is impossible due to poor performance (this is does not uses layouts, it uses a GL Canvas)
