Feature Requests: Extend openPLi movie list (movie center) with EMC features

18 November 2023 - 14:42

The Enhanced Movie Center (EMC) is a feature rich plugin but is difficult to maintain. It would be nice and much easier to maintain to extend the already very nice openPLi movie list.

 

Here are some features I use every day:

 

Folder info:

An info about how many movies are in the folder (incl. subfoldera) plus how much space they occupy. There are options: number only, number/space, space only, none. Example: (10 / 52 GB) for 10 movies occupying 52 GB of space. This information could substitute the "Verzeichnis" and "Papierkorb". 

 

Record title and short info in one line:

A even more compact view but allows more entries on one page. 

 

Alphabetical sort includes the short description:

Very useful for folders containing for example many recordings of a docu series. 

 

Multiple selection of recordings:

Select multiple entries for move/delete/copy/watch/shuffle watch etc. 

 

Random/shuffled playback option for all recordings in a folder or selection. 

 

Keys to jump for example +5 or -5 list entries. 

 

Option to disable the mini TV but use the freed space to show more details of the selected recording.

 

Wasted space for folders in the list:

Show folders in the list as a single line even when recordings have two lines. 

 

Playlist management would be nice.

Add/delete movies to/from a playlist.

Play the playlist "top down" or in random order. 

 

Otions to reduce font size and reduce width of left column (smaller mini TV and details column) to gain more space for the list of recordings. I altered the standard EMC skin for that. Especially if you have name and short description in one line. 

 

These are a few features that come to mind first at the moment. 


Feature Request: Graphical Multi EPG - mark disabled timers and end time in details

18 November 2023 - 14:06

Disabled timers:

Active timers are marked red in the Graphical Multi EPG.

Would it be possible to mark disabled timers for example yellow?

Nice to see if someone maybe had accidentally disabled a timer. 

 

Program details (info key):

The channel, date, start time and duration are displayed in the details (TV show details via info key). 

Would it be possible to add the end time to the information?

Of course it is possible to calculate this, but it would be nice to have it immediately. 

 

Start and end time for selected TV-show:

In list mode of the Graphical Multi EPG it would be nice to see the start and end time of the selected TV show, maybe right to the date on the top. 

 

 

 

 

 


VU+ Duo 4K - Youtube Plugin - 1080p DASH - very low dl speed (8.3-release)

12 November 2023 - 08:19

Vu+ Duo 4k
OpenPLi 8.3-release
Youtube plugin from feed

I have used 720p and it has worked perfectly fine.
If I activate 1080p (DASH) the transfer/download speed is very low, videos are very laggy.

Download speed is about max. 180 KByte/s, mostly much lower. With 720p it works perfectly and very fast. I have a 250/40 Mbit/s internet connection.

Is this a problem with DASH on my box?
Is there anything I could do?

Thanks.
