    Currently you can only add categories to favorites that have directly videos below them.

    Getting watched Series via Trakt and displaying that correctly might somehow be possible, but not easily, because identifying the video items correctly is not an easy task. Same problem with subtitles. I gues it might be better to download them and let MPTVSeries watch that folder.

    This would be fine if you could have a temp-directory for unfinished downloads. Now, as OV writes the file directly to the download folder, the file gets recognized in TV-Series before it is finished. This combined with the unability to resume unfinished downloads in OV after MP restart, results in too many false episodes in TV-series.

    Well, these things might get fixed/added somewhere along the road, but they are not on a high priority, because the main focus of OnlineVideos is the direct streaming/watching of online content - not downloading (that was only build in as fallback for people with slower connections).

    MP-TVSeries will not pick on locked (in-use) files. It will import them after file is unlocked (finished moving/copying/downloading). Only if OnlineVideos does not set correct file mode when dowloading this could be a problem.

    Hi offbyone,

    Many thanks for adding the ABC iView site. Any chance the results returned from the categories could be sorted in alphabetical order? They seem to be in some other order that doesn't make finding things easy. Also, is it possible to get search working on this site?

    I added a new GuiProperty to OnlineVideos that will show the number of current downloads and can be used anywhere in the skin. In the Default skins, I added an imagebutton that leads directly to the CurrentDownloads (but not back to where you came from). Anyway with this feature you don't need to go to CurrentDownloads as you'll always see how many are currently runninng.
    All you have to do now is wait for the next version :)

    I wonder if it would be possible to put a shortcut in the right pop-up menu to the Downloading folder?

    This would be helpful as not only would it let me easily see whether the videos I am downloading have finished, without having to keep an eye on the TV for the "finished" pop-ups, but particularly for iPlayer as it only seems to let me download one programme at a time, so I have to wait for the first download to finish before trying the next one (or it gives an error or worse, hangs for a while).

    If I could quickly jump to the downloading folder and when I see that the download has finished, press Exit on my remote to go back to the previous folder and start the next download, that would be a great help as at the moment I have to exit back up to OV's main list to get to the downloading folder, and then navigate my way back to the original folder (or go to iPlayer and go through the process of doing another search for the programme if I wasn't able to easily find it in the categories).
