Subject: Future development plans
Now that 0.3.2 has been released and commercial skipping seems to work, it is time to think about the future.
The following is a list of my own ideas, in the priority which I think is reasonable. Please cast your ideas into the pool and discuss the priority. I am open to suggestions.
- Parameters to the exe-file. Allows to open a recording via a link from mythtweb.
- Window class which makes it possible to: Remove titlebar, avoid videowindow to show in system-tray etc.
- Handle programs that are recording such that the length of the program is shown correct.
- LiveTv. Ability to switch to livetv and change channel.
- On Screen Display (OSD): Start implementation of OSD. This should show play/paused/time/rebuffering info. Countdown to commercial jump, etc.
- Ability to Delete recording from GUI.
- Deinterlaze filters. (use the ones from Dscaler. No need to reinvent the wheel)
- Configuration GUI. Simple configuration GUI where backend can be set up, buffer sizes be controlled, etc.
In the FAR future I imagine the possibility to search and schedule recordings. This is not that important to me, as mythweb really does a good job. What is your view?
There also been suggestions to make it possible to copy a recording to the local machine from the recording GUI, and a simple OSD where it is possible to select recordings using keys (and therefore remote control). These features are not important for me, but they might be for you?
The feature I miss the most is LiveTv, but even though it is partly working for my specific backend, it needs a lot of work to be deployable. Currently I only communicate with the backend using the Myth protocol, but it seems like I need to have access to its MySql database to get it up running.
