1. Why not add in the VLC behaviour a file browser that goes to a specific folder and filter only files playable by VLC (.avi, .mov, .divx, etc..)

2. Possibility to group parts of a movie as single movie. Example: 
"The Gladiator - CD1.avi" & "The Gladiator - CD2.avi" is shown as "The Gladiator"

3. Why not also the idea of a full screen Remote Buddy UI? Maybe I'm going outside the scope of the project... ;-)

Anyway this is a great software! 

thanks for sharing!

1) => be surprised with a future feature :-)

2) I'm not sure, whether this is really doable. Some would name their 
files "CD1 - some movie.avi", others "Some movie 1.avi" and yet 
others will name it "Some movie one.avi" and "Some movie 2.avi" or - 
even better - "Some move.avi" and "Some movie 2.avi". I fear this 
feature is a science of its own. BUT I've added it to the ToDo list 
nonetheless for future inspiration.

1) Danke schön!

2) I saw that on the XMBC project, it's called "stacking".

I'm waiting for something like No. 1 as well. To me it would be good to have a function to add all files from a specific folder (or the DVD drive for example) to the playlist of VLC, so that you can browse with the forward and backward button through them. 
I have the same situation that some movies are split over several files on one DVD and currently I'm closing VLC after one file, going back to the file browser and opening the next one.

Keep up the good work!

you shouldn't have to close VLC after each file. Instead, you should 
be able to select multiple files - one after another - and select to 
launch them with VLC. VLC should then queue it up in its playlist. 
However, I understand this is not the most elegant solution and I'll 
look at it.

i have made a folder inside my movie folder called "multi" and all of my multi-part movies are in there

then in the main movie folder i create a text file with a m3u extension. in this example "The Gladiator.m3u"

in that text file i write 2 lines

----------- 
multi/The Gladiator - CD1.avi 
multi/The Gladiator - CD2.avi 
-----------

now all i do is select the m3u file, and play it with VLC. it loads every thing in order and plays it. 

thanks for sharing this!

Another idea that springs to mind is to put these files in a VIDEO_TS 
folder. At least VLC should then play its contents regardless of format.

Best regards, 
Felix 

thanks for your idea, that's already helping a bit. It would be good if there was a way of marking the files that should then be transferred to VLC, but I don't know if that's possible. I will try the other two options with the playlist file and the VIDEO_TS folder also in the next couple of days. 
Thanks a lot so far!

Also file browser in VLC is the only thing putting me off from buying this app will buy as soon as you release it :)

thanks for your feedback! This is certainly a good idea well worth 
adding to the ToDo list.

Best regards, 
Felix 

thank you for the latest great release! However I didn't found my suggested features, I'm a right?

Do you still plan something like this? This would be a great step toward a perfect media center.

Keep up the good work and thank you! 

thanks for asking.

You're right. I planned it to be part of RC2, but in the end the 
Apple Design Award deadline arrived too soon ;-)

I'm still planning to add this.

Best regards, 
Felix 

What do you think? Thank you for your great application.

For now, the easiest way to browse your avi/divx/.. files is to 
customize the menu of VLC / QT Player / .. accordingly by dragging 
and dropping the root folder of all of your divx files into the 
Context Menu of Remote Buddy (Preferences > Behaviours > *Player of 
your choice* > Context Menu).

This way, you gain quick access to your files from within the players 
with the remote control.

You can also transition your movies into a VIDEO_TS folder structure:

My Movies /

Blockbuster Movie A / 
Cover.jpg 
VIDEO_TS/ 
BlockBusterMovieA_01.avi 
BlockBusterMovieA_02.avi

Blockbuster Movie B / 
AnyFileNameWillDo.jpg 
VIDEO_TS/ 
MovieB01.divx 
MovieB02.divx

and can then access them through the Movie Library with VLC (DVD 
Player will not play back most media).

Benefits: 
1) Covers attached to your movies. 
2) Well organized movie collection. 
3) Available now.

Downside: 
Needs some time to initially set up.

Felix 

AH!! I love it! For me is perfect!!!! 

I'm having a small problem, though, and I just can't figure out what I need to fix.

I have my "TV" directory as part of my VLC context menu. If I choose a file in this directory, I get the standard menu to choose the application to open - when I choose VLC, the file is opened and plays correctly, but VLC is not activated within Remote Buddy - I'm still on the menu that lets me choose the app.

How do I make VLC activate when I choose a file? I also have "TV" directory as part of my main profile menu, when I choose a file starting here, VLC is activated in RB properly. What is different in these 2 cases?

I hope my question is clear.

Thanks for a truly spectacular product, 
Tracey 

thanks for asking.

Actually, once you have selected VLC from the menu, the menu should 
go away and VLC should become the front most application as a file 
was just opened with it (it does here, just tried).

This behaviour should not differ between the two scenarios you 
mention as the code doesn't differentiate them.

What is different, though, is that if you press Menu after launching 
a file from within the VLC Behaviour's context menu, you'll return to 
the launch menu more or less deep into the context menu rather than 
the root level of the context menu. You can always (no matter where 
you are in the menu) return to the root level of the context menu of 
the currently running up by first holding left to return to the 
menu's global root level, then pressing menu twice to hide it first, 
then reopen it at the context menu level of the currently active 
Behaviour.

If you didn't mean that, please let me know.

Best regards, 
Felix 

Of course that's what's going on - I feel silly now.

Thanks for your help, 
Tracey
