EDIT: Found and fixed what was causing the problem!

Arrow OS has an odd little compatibility menu item tucked away in the settings that controls how much of the screen apps not designed for larger aspect ratios (such as 18:9, or 19.5:9 like my Mix 3) can use

The default is 1.86 for god knows what reason, setting it to infinite makes use of the whole display and the black bar is gone!

I'm sorry for wasting your time with this issue my friend

Aah yes, I found something somilar yesterday, but concerning a Samsung device. Wanted to ask if there was something like that for your device, too, but you beat me to it

Good to know it's working now!

Cheers!

7.2.0

CHANGED BEHAVIOR: Tapping on poster icon in shows overview:
- Single tap: go to episode details (was show details)
- Longpress: go to show details (was episode details)
- Double tap: external sources (either open *s directly, or - if no starred URLs...http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23298290/; solution: https://developer.android.com/guide/webapps/migrating.html#URLs)
4.01: loadDataWithBaseURL to loadData with full
data; Episodes checkmarks padding fix; Marquee for seasons info; to in show details;
4.00: All posters will be automatically refreshed upon Update (All) when having old dimensions or when not existing anymore (this occurred sometimes due to TheTVDb errors); No more support for older versions of original DroidSeries databases (only latest v0.1.5-7 is supported and will be updated with new fields); New poster thumbnail when no poster was found (did not work anymore, either - fixed)
3.91: Update routine for new poster thumbnail size
3.90: View full-size poster and fan art in show overview; Added total number of episodes per season; Seasons lists not static anymore; Added DatabaseUtils.sqlEscapeString()'s where necessary; If status is unknown, don't show stupid "null"; Using parallel AsyncTask for updates of show & season updates; Put SQL statements for Show & Episode Overview into own activity (no more putExtra hell); SerieEpisodes RelativeLayout to LinearLayout; SerieEpisodes setOnClickListener => android: onClick in XML; Removed and reordered some SQL clauses for (theoretical) performance; Some more decent names for variables; Loading of icon drawable in getView() for faster start-up
3.88: View full size poster and fan art
3.87: New show & episode details views; if no IMDb id for a show is provided, long-pressing poster/clicking on rating in show overview will go to IMDb search page; less useless distracting text on screens and in titles
3.85: Fixed: not always showing updated info after "Update all shows"
3.84: Showing middot when all new episodes are aired; prettier list divider; About dialog called "Options"; instead of onItemClickListener using proper way of overriding onListItemClick; create ONE OnClickListener & ONE OnLongClickListener for all list items; some code cleanup
3.83: Translucent background
3.82: Added Undo function for "mark next episode as seen"; "Next episode" line no longer styled bold (more distinction between show name and info lines makes for quicker finding of shows while scrolling down the list).
3.81: Tested on tablet, fixed IconView once again. Resolution of poster on download and view is now independent of device's ratios, but still depends on the screen's long side (px).
3.81: Checkboxes in episodes list are now easier to tick when "Use entire line to check episode" is disabled.
3.80: Finally nailed it: ellipsize="marquee" is working. Note to self: never trust someone else's code blindly.
3.78: Showing cross after show name when show ended (instead of * in show info field) and showing status when no new episodes.

@ltGuillaume, the app crashes upon updating the shows by pulling down and by using the menu option.

I then uninstalled the app, reinstalled and, when I selected to restore the backup, it crashed again.

It's a little late tonight but, I'll provide a logcat and, if needed, a screen recording of it.

Thanks a Bunch!

That one works excellently!

I do appreciate your time, patience, understanding and especially your prompt and continued support for this development!

If I run into anything else, I'll definitely let you know (likely within Github for any big issues).

WARNING: TheTVDB.com has f*cked up their API

The current migration to V3 is screwing up a lot of data DroidShows tries to get. Expect empty show info, no IMDb ratings per episode and more ****e when you update.

At least enable the option Update show's latest season only until this is resolved. This will at least keep the show info and all but the last season's info intact.

ltGuillaume · Nov 16, 2019

Adding new shows is also impossible, since the show info does not include the show's id and name anymore. You'll get an empty show name, with only the actors as info and the episodes are added without IMDB ratings.

ltGuillaume · Nov 20, 2019

Most issues seem to have been resolved.

I'm having some issues with the season order, it isn't always showing specials at the top. For example for Rick and Morty it shows Season 1, Specials, Season 2, Season 3, Season 4.
I have deleted that show and re-added it but it is still showing like that. Nothing too major but a slight annoyance.

You're right. This is also a new issue created by the API changes at TheTVDb.com. This will help, though: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4889061

Sorry something else I just noticed. If a tv show has more than 9 seasons it will appear out of order. It will show
Season 1
Season 10
Season 11
Season 2
Etc

You're right. As a remnant of DroidSeries, apparently the season number is saved as a string into the database. This causes a simple ascending sort to give these results (e.g. 1, 10 11, 2).

Please try this version.

ltGuillaume · Jan 16, 2020

v7.9.10

Removed maxSdkVersion to support Android 10
android:resizeableActivity="true" should remove letterbox on 21:9 screens
Changed versionCode format
Properly sort seasons instead of 1,10,2,20 (TheTVDB API bug)
Use AsyncTask for adding shows

7.9.11

Prevented loading shows twice on start-up due to spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener. This caused flickering of the list.
Improved use of notifyDataChanged to speed up list changes
Used similar procedure to fetch posters when adding shows and when updating shows. This may solve the issue that the poster didn't show up when adding a new show.
