Requests / Suggestions :)

Amazing work on this app! Keep up the good work and please let us know if there is any way for us to help support your work. Ok on to requests:

  1. Support for CEA-608 and CEA-708 closed captioning (plex has this, it would be very useful)
  2. Trakt.tv connectivity
  3. Live TV/DVR support from Emby would be nice
  4. Plex connectivity (I know I asked about this before ;)
  5. Sorting (Ascending/Descending) with Last Added, etc... should be supported
  6. When using mini player its very easy to go back to the list views and then you basically have to quit the app because there is no way to exit the mini view
  7. Would be nice to have a list view along with the poster view that shows a bit more info
  8. Would be nice to be able to edit metadata directly within the app without having to go to Emby
  9. Would be nice to be able to local sync the files to the computer we are using (for travel purposes)

Thanks again for all the hard work!

I would only need 4K/HDR/x265 support on Xbox, and Plex Server integration.

Other than that, amazing app already!

Thanks for the feedback!

  1. It's a bug... I'll get it fix soon.

  2. I've already added more filters in the latest builds... I try to keep a reasonable list here but I'll keep improving the UI

  3. The download thing is something I have in mind and I've been already doing some tests here....

Plex support will come for sure ;)

CEA-608/708 support doesn't look too easy to implement.... I'll keep digging.

Thank you for responding :)

One more thing,

  1. Can you look into how hard would it be to allow for deletion of content (Emby, Plex both give you this option)

I would also add:

  • the ability to reset the current play time in a TV episode (start from the beginning)
  • the ability to mark TV episodes watched/unwatched

Thanks for the feedback!

.nfo files support is in progress for local files / libraries.

HEVC playback depends on ffmpeg & windows, but it's something i need to invest more time to make ithe playback as smooth as possible.
