"Easy" Media Center interface

Postby superjunior » 28 Aug 2007 13:47

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).

VLC version: OVER 9000!!!
Operating System: It's...blue screen
Location: Heaven? No no. What's that other place that starts with an "H"? Oh yes: Home. ^_^

You might want to try the nightly builds (trunk), it is planned to add a full blown media library and tons of other additions of course.

The 'Start with fullscreen black' has been suggested a few times but no word on whether it's going to be implemented or not; we'll just have to wait and see. :)

I think i can make a Media Center plugin ... using the VLC player. Just controlling it with the remote.
