My Videos rebirth

[zaldwaik]

Wonderful News! I am still hanging on the old one waiting for a rebirth.

I would suggest similar functionality to the old one to start with (no burning stuff or encoding) I have 100s of movies and I cannot live without MyVidoes. Let me know if you need beta testers.

Here my favorites and they are mostly for movie organization/playback

- Folder-based organization (with thumbnails folder.jpg) where I can just add a movie and it will show up in the category
- IMDB lookup and others if possible (IMDB is missing a few movie posters)
- Different view modes (list, icons, filmstrip etc)
- Nice readable fonts (like the old one)
- Playlists
- Edit, delete, remove from DB, create thumbnails etc functions that exist in the old one
- Genre categorization with customizable thumbnails (exists in ver. 5 I am using)
- DVD folder/ISO playback support
- sort options
- rating showing as number not stars
- I never used "scan" because I started my movie collection at the time I installed MyVideos, but now that I have a large collection, I think it would be very useful.
- Stacking was useful until I learned how to join movie files.

The old plugin was perfect in many ways, a similar one would be a fantastic development

Do not forget the .link file or similar functionality please

Not to veer the topic, but any chance of a MyPrograms for PVRX2? Loved it on gbpvr.exe!

Reven, I want you to know that your My Videos plugin is the sole reason I have not upgraded past the 98 version of gbpvr. Your plugin is pure perfection for me and my family and I am overjoyed to see you show some interest again.

My only requests and they are very minor:

- Have an option to play all videos found in a folder like "Video Library" can.
- This is probably outside the scope of the plugin, but a bookmark feature for videos would be great as well.

if you a bookmark feature like dvd chapters for a standard video file, then yes that is not possible via a plugin (unless sub has drastically changed something in gbpvr since ive been gone, but im 99% sure he hasnt)

couldnt you do something similar to how comskip works

wouldnt be able to create the interface for it (well not within gbpvr), and im not looking at creating a complex feature that hardly anyone uses, i want to stick to a sleeker plugin that does what it does really well.

I understand the limitations you are dealing with. Actually by bookmark I would only want one marker per movie, not multiple markers like DVD chapters. If I have been watching a movie for 30 minutes then have to quit, it would be nice if the next time I viewed the movie if MyVideos could give a button to say "Continue" on the same menu as the "Play" button maybe?

Not sure what your options are when manipulating movie playback, but if you could programatically start a movie at a certain timestamp this would seem to allow this sort of simple bookmarking, assuming the previous stop time was recorded in registry, ini, or some other file. Again I have no idea what I am talking about so feel free to slap me for being an idiot.

Yep, plugins can do that.
