Hi again
This has been an extended weekend (hollidays) and while making heavy use of RB I came up with some more sugestions:
1) Can you make an option to choose the position of messages on the screen? Or at least choose to put them on the top instead of on the botton. I watch many movies with subtitles, and it is annoying to miss some subtitiles while RB says "disconnecting PS3 remote for inactivity" on the screen in the middle of the movie, right on top of the movie subtitles.
2) I listen a lot to mp3. I do not keep my music managed by iTunes, they are just files in a tree organized by me. So, while FrontRow is fine to watch movies, I cannot use it for music, it will only play what iTunes can see. So I'm using RB's menu FILES to navigate to the right dir, and press enter on a music. Then I choose the player (normally Mplayer OSX). It plays OK.
The problem is, I have to choose one by one. It would be nice to have a way to enqueue a hole dir as a playlist to the selected program. I see that today, hitting 'right' or 'play' on the remote control, while on the files menu, both enter the selected directory. Maybe you could use 'right' to enter it, but if you press play (or hold play), it will offer you to recursively mount a playlist and call a program (that could work for mp3 or for video-clips or any known media).
3) When you enter the FILES menu, the first option is to go back to the last directory you were. This is great, I use it a lot. But I think it's behaviour could be changed a little:
Today it behaves like this:
- you navigate to 5 levels down your home dir
- you launch something and leave menu
- you fire menu again
- on level 1, you see the option to go back to last dir
- you choose it and jump to that dir deep 5 levels
- now you want to go back one dir, to level 4
- you press 'back/left', but you go back to level 1, not 4
is this intended behaviour? Could it remember the complete path, so you can jump 5 levels down and then go gack one by one, instead of jumping all the way back too?
If my programming skills are still good, I think 1 and 3 must be easy, while 2 may require a little more effort.
Thank you again,
Andre
