Feature Request: Background updating (1 Viewer)

[kiwijunglist]

Hi

Just a possible feature for the future (if you haven't already thought of this)

When mediaportal is running online video's periodically
(and/or on start up of mediaportal)
(and/or on startup of the plugin)
checks for updates and updates these scrapes in the background.

When an update is occurring the names of the channels that are being updated/added are noted, and if the user attempts to view one of these channels then a dialog box asking them to wait for update to complete is presented.

If the user attempts to view a channel that is not part of the update then online videos allows the user to still view that channel while the update continues in the background.

Perhaps the channels that are currently being updated/added could be presented as greyed out in the GUI until the update completes.

The reason why I ask for this is because I often use onlinevideos (via moving pictures) to view a trailer for a movie and it is annoying to have to wait for an update to occur.

Thanks
Kiwi

Would like to see something like this as well, would be a better user experience because the update notifications do get a little too much at times

Nothing I can promise for implementing this, but you guys do know that you can change the interval at which the plugin checks for updates? If you only have a few sites and those don't break or get updated too often, simply set a large interval like 96 hours, so you don't get annoyed to fast
