Wouldn't it be fairly simple to implement a simple media center interface? This mode would feature:
- Starts with fullscreen black, only visible object would be:
- Simple file browser that starts at predefined folder or volume (auto-updating)
User navigates with remote control or mouse.
For Mac version a setting to overide Front Row and instead start VLC in this mode, would be perfect.
Remote "Menu-click" during playback would bring up settings for subtitles and delays, a bit like Sofa Control (Mac app).
