I'm looking at modifying the script to handle Double, Triple and more features(ie two+ movies instead of 1) with intermission videos in between movies. As I am working, I was wondering about the limit of the number of Features. I was thinking 5 to follow the rest of the script. Another question. How would you like to set the number of of features, in settings or when the script first starts?
I'm also going to to be asking the skin developers for a little help, as the idea is to have a button on the home window that activated the script. The script will then open your video library. Then all you will have to do is queue up the videos you want as features(the number '0'(zero) on the remote queues the playlist). Then when you have selected enough movies(matching your selected number of features) the script then does it's normal job an organizing the videos, slides and music.
So what do you think?
Makes sense. Seems like functionality that would be used rarely, but would be absolutely awesome when it is. Play an intermission video for a trip to the snack bar and maybe another round of trivia slides while people relax a bit before the next movie. Good stuff.
That actually reminds me of a feature request I had: slide selection based on genre of the feature presentation. I think slide ratings to keep the scary stuff away from kids is "up to and including" the specified rating so you might see Pixar slides before Bourne Identity or whatever, but not the other way around. It would be really cool to specify the genre of the slides so that when you queue up a few Alien movies you'll see random sci-fi slides, etc.
I'm sure it's complicated since movies (and potentially slides) can have multiple genres but it would sure be nice.
