Episode listing quirk

mista335 · 2007-05-07, 17:19

When I stop playing an episode the listing highlights the next unwatched episode.

If all episodes are watched it jumps to episode 1.

How can I stop this so that when I stop playing the eposode I was watching remains highlighted?.

You can't stop this, it would need to be programmed.

This is driving my family nuts.

If all the episodes are marked as watched it jumps back to episode 1.

Say you are watching say episode 19, you stop it for a moment and go away.

Then when you press play again you are watching episode 1 and who the hell can remember which episode you are watching?

My videos doesn't work this way.

No HTPC software, DVD, DVD-R or set top box works this way.

When you press stop the file you are watching remains selected.

Why are you trying to anticipate what the viewer wants to watch next?

This didn't always work this way. What version did you add this "feature"?

....now I certainly can't be bother to add this, or maybe I just can't "the hell" remember to do it. I suggest you use one of the other "HTPC software, DVD, DVD-R or set top" that "works this way".

Have a nice day.

Hehe, yeah it's quite annoying but I've gotten used to press up after stopping in the middle of a video.
But then it's also really nice to just have to press stop then play to start the next episode.

While i agree with mista's point.. i certainly woudln't go about the feature request the same way

I do think that too much "assumption" in software is annoying. (Hey! it looks like you're writing a letter!). And I'd applaude this feature being removed.

And I say this with the upmost thanks to the time Inker has put into the plugin

I just offer my suggestions in the interest of making the plugin better, he does all the work.

I reverted to version 0.9 and it's fine.

You clearly add this in later versions which it seems you "can't the hell remember".

You might consider placing this "feature" where the sun doesn't shine.

"Have a nice day".
