N.O.W.A.L.L Wrote:I really look forward to your pop-up!
For the random thing... well, if it could choose among a genre ("hey, today I want to watch an unwatched comedy", let's choose randomly") it could be fun, but I'm not sure I will use very often.
Anyway too much is better than not enough. What I like in CE2 is that it has tons of options and possibilities so your pop-up will be a great thing!
will there be also a function of "resume from XX:XX" if a movie has been stopped?
The "resume" function is, as far as I know, standard in XBMC. What this means is that, if the random film is one that you have started watching, the "Resume from..." notification will be shown.
As for the other suggestions, no, the script doesn't do this currently. It's currently a very very basic script.
I can have a look to see if there's any way of filtering by genre/watched etc. i.e. I think Cinema Experience can restrict trailers to unwatched ones.
(For the technical people, the script works by submitting a JSON RPC request to get the list of movies in the library and then picks one at random. As far as I know, the genre/watched information is not available via JSON at this moment in time.)
EDIT:
Ah, do you mean if you select a random movie and stop it, can you resume the random movie? Yes... but you'd have to select the movie name from your library. The script won't track whether you got to the end of the movie or not (because how could the script know whether you've stopped a movie and will come back to it, or because you want to watch something else?)
