True - for me, I don't use this method to find something to watch - I use it to return to something I am currently watching. The ability to return to a list of last played items by simply pressing the play button would remove the need for this from my perspective.

I usually use the scrollbar to cycle through my collection when I'm looking for something to watch. I personally still like the idea of being able to create custom channels (like user TV/movie/mixed channels - using smartplaylists - all completely automatic). There was another post here about this recently (but it didn't get any comments)http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...light=jump

This would be a very nice addition to the skin.

As I said earlier, I made an onscreen "JumpSMS" version for PM3. I use it all the time, and it only uses one remote button to activate it (then you can use other buttons within it's window). It probably needs Next/Prev Letter added to it as well now. (Original Post here http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=225...stcount=21)

The trouble is, I modded this ages ago and I can't remember how I did it. - and I have to redo the mod everytime I update. Would be great if this was a permanent part of PM3 (Or any skin)



All these things will probably change once we see how the new library works

IMO that's a terrible way of implementing it into the skin - if you're going to have the alphabet there I'd say put it like a combination of a scrollbar and an OSX-style dock where the selected letter is magnified and centered. So maybe beside the scrollbar you'd have 10 letters of the alphabet, current letter centered and larger, and as you went down it'd update your 10 letter window and scroll by letter.

At least that's always how I envisioned it working.
