Hello sub!
Would it be possible to add the capability for PVRX2 to accept a command line argument of a filename for it to play - if it's not already running I would like it to just go straight to playing that file. If it's already running and doing something else such as watching live TV or another recorded file, I would like it to stop doing that and then go to playing back the new file.
Alternatively, or even better perhaps, in addition to this, could you make some improvements to the way that it handles files in the Video Library section:
When deleting a file and the prompt comes up asking if you're sure, please include the name of the file to be deleted in the prompt window - usually the highlighted file is no longer visible when that prompt comes up.
Add a keyboard shortcut - e.g. either the Del key or the letter D which deletes the file (with the normal prompt) rather than having to press several buttons to go to the left, scroll down and then hit enter on the delete option.
After deleting a file, rather than having the highlighted entry go back to the top, just select the next file in the list.
When using the menu on the left to delete a file, have it automatically go back to the list of files as the active control - either that or fix it so that the highlight doesn't appear on the list of files as it does at the moment - that has caught me several times with the highlighted option going down on the menu instead of the file list.
Within the Video Library section, perhaps add a column to the right indicating the duration of each file, maybe also the actual file size as well.
Within the Video Library file list, it would be nice if you could optionally scroll past the top and bottom - i.e. when the first item is selected in the list and you press the up arrow, the selection goes to the bottom of the list. Conversely, when the last item is selected and you hit the down arrow, the selection goes back to the top.
Separately from the above, whilst watching a recorded file, it would be nice if you could press F2 and have it take you straight to live TV instead of having to go back through the menu.
I think that's the lot for the moment :-)
