In some External Media Players (like MPC HC), they are able to play all the movies in a folder if you pass it the folder path. This works great if you have stacked movies where each movie is in it's own folder.
So I have:
movie\movie.cd1.avi
movie\movie.cd2.avi
Under the latest SVN, when I play this movie with external player:
a) playback is not "smooth", at the break between cd1 and cd2, xbmc comes up to fire the next item in the playlist
b) If while playing cd1, I decide I do not want to watch the movie any more, stopping MPC HC is OK, but XBMC will fire the next cd2 anyway.
So, if you have an option somewhere that either:
1. plays only the 1st video in a folder (then we use a launcher script to pull back to the folder level)
2. plays a .m3u in the folder instead of the individual avis
3. tells external player to play the folder name, instead of the actual video file.
This is especially true/needed for the movies library IMHO..
What do you think?
Hi Moby, any comments on this? Curious as to your point of view..
