Re: some ideas

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
 
Sam i think your have been stealing my thoughts i almost posted these a little while back but got distracted and forgot. anyway a few additions

1. Option for larger fonts and larger menu area

 
Place where this is worst (for me) is in the file browser. The Xbox media center way of scrolling the currently selected file name back and forth so you can read the whole thing would be useful.

3. (option) Always open videos in VLC, dont give me an option

 
More generally i think the following would be useful 
Pressing play on a file name opens in default app pressing right opens the list of apps to choose from.

And some more 
VLC bindings: add the jump forward/jump back vlc commands i don't tend to use the vlc playlist so the next/previous options are not of much use.

Eyetv 2.3 support (ok i know your working on that but it looks so nice) 
open VIDEO_TS directories in VLC and DVD player

RSS menu that displays headlines pressing play opens them up in nice big fonts so i can read them while i'm dashing about in the morning. 
inbox browsing in the same way as above (entorage and mail). 
frontrow style menus for itunes (playlists artists albums etc)

Ok i know that some of these are hard, so quick question does/will the sdk have the power to allow me to write some of this stuff myself.

many thanks
