Need more controls on playback

[rosede]

Sub,

Thanks for creating the client. For the most part, I think that it works great, however I would like to see some more controls for playback.

I have one particular TV in one particular room that I can't put a RPi on and I'm stuck with watching whatever is on. I've always wished that I could watch some of the programming that I've recorded and now I can. I put the client on my tablet and now I can watch some of the show's that I would normally only be able to watch on one of the other systems.

I started watching a recorded show via my tablet. Playback was great with an exception or two. The pause button didn't work (it works on the phone, but not on the tablet) so, I pressed stop. When I went to resume playback, I had to start from the beginning and then used the progress bar to FF to where I left off. This could be an issue if there was sometime between viewings because I wouldn't be able to remember where I had left off. There was a little trial and error finding where I stopped because I had not looked at the time stamp and I had to guess how long I had been viewing and then jumped around a bit to find the correct time.

I don't know if there is a way to sync with the client with the PVR to mark my place or something? Also, FF and RW buttons would help.

Just a few thoughts.

Thanks

There is definitely more stuff coming on this front. It's still pretty early days for the Android app, and I expect there will be a lot of improvements over the next couple months.

Great. Looking forward to getting the updates.

That's odd - not sure why that'd be. It works here on the tablet. I had read that some device aren't very responsive near the edge of the screen, which might be what you're seeing.

Resume has been added for the next release.
