Hey Sub,
I mentioned this is a forum post and was encouraged to add it here as a wishlist item. I have been using Video Archive for the last few years until I just upgraded to 1.3.11 and have not been able to get it to work, and Jeff is nowhere to be found. Now that I am back to using the Recordings screen, I've discovered that VA had a couple of really nice features that I think could benefit Recordings. So, here we go....
1. Add the ability to press a letter key on the MVP remote and have it jump to that point in the recordings listing. For example, press the 'P' key and have it go straight to the first recording starting with a P. This would save have to press the PageDown countless times in order to get there, especially if you have tons of recordings as I do.
2. Add the ability to choose a sort order for the what's new list. Currently it's sorted by recording date, but being able to sort by show name would be nice to. Again, it just makes it easier to find the show your trying to watch!
3. Lastly, it would be really cool to be able to group recordings into a folder. VA did this automatically of you simply dragged and dropped the video file into a folder named "Christmas" or Cartoons for example. Then when you view the recordings listing, you would see a Christmas listing that when you clicked on it, you would see all of the videos that you had dropped into the physical folder. Just a really simple way of organizing your videos for easy location later.
Well there you have it. I think a lot of folks could really benefit from these changes. If you like the sound of them, please consider including them in the next release.
Thanks for all the hard work,
Kevin
