[REQ] Playback_Position within GB-PVR

[ShiningDragon]

Hi sub!

Could you please improve the resume-function within GB-PVR? You can watch a movie and stop..., later you can choose between "resume" or "restart".
That's really good, but: This option stays even, if you saw the whole movie, but the Playback_Position is then near the end.
Were it possible to integrate a function like "Movie watched complete: true" which will remove the entry for the Playback_Position from the database?

Ok, it's not a really important thing, but i wondered why i have the choose at a movie which my wife watched complete before

Another thing is: In the database all watched movies stay there, even if they aren't available on Harddisk any more. Perhaps these entries could be deleted too automatically (without the letters for optical drives, which are configurable within config).
This could save a little spacewasting within the database i think.

Have a look at your config.xml:

Code:

<PromptForResume>true</PromptForResume>
<StoreResumeStartExclusion>0</StoreResumeStartExclusion>
<StoreResumeEndExclusion>0</StoreResumeEndExclusion>

I think this is what you're looking for - but as I actually never used this exclusion values, I can't tell you if the values are minutes or seconds.

I'd love an explanation of these values.... Sub?

Me too, and they are not a complete solution. But anyway thank you

if you do <UseMenuResumeButton>true</UseMenuResumeButton> in config.xml it will put "resume" just below "play" when you choose the show.

not sure if thats what you are looking for, but it will keep the window from popping up.

No, i am not looking for this, sorry. The resume function is great, but not perfect.

<PromptForResume>true</PromptForResume>
<StoreResumeStartExclusion>0</StoreResumeStartExclusion>
<StoreResumeEndExclusion>0</StoreResumeEndExclusion>

The exclusion values are in seconds.

The original idea was, it'll store the current playback position in the database every 20 seconds if current position was between the <StoreResumeStartExclusion> and the duration - <StoreResumeEndExclusion>.

When you stop the video, or it reaches the end, if the current position was within <StoreResumeEndExclusion> seconds of the duration of the file, then it would automatically delete resume information for that file.

A couple of releases back (v0.95?), the logic relating to <StoreResumeEndExclusion> was disabled at the request of one of the plugin developers who wanted to shows whether the show had been previously played in his alternative Recordings screen.

Also if i understand it right, then this option don't work anymore. Do you plan to make something similar in a future release?

[sub]

It depends what you mean by doesnt work. It was changed to the current behaviour after one of the developers requested it, so in effect its working exactly as it is currently intended to work (ie, <StoreResumeEndExclusion> doing nothing).

There is some minor changes in this area in the next release.
