I disagree. It's not at all specific. As mentioned in another email on this thread, there was already an intention to have this sort of thing. It's not about a specific structure to be used -- but being able to customize: i.e., indicate /usr/videos for vidoes; /usr/photos for photos; /usr/music for music; etc. It's really just an extension of the default start-up folder for the file system view. There's an important distinction between MythTV and mvpmc: Myth was never written for specific hardware. The Hauppage software and GBPVR make use of these buttons on the Hauppage remote control since that was actually the intention of these buttons. They're very useful. It's simply unnecessary to use custom remotes or lirc to do this. > BTW, not all MediaMVP's come w/remotes with all those buttons. I think > we need to keep that in mind when developing new code. You're right -- only the newer version, I believe <http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/remote>, but that won't break older remotes that don't have these buttons.
