[Freevo-devel] thoughts on the encoding server

2005-02-19 Thread Ben Ford
I just tried the encoding server plugin and I've got a few comments on it: 1: Going through the title list is tedious. The DVD I just backed up had 76 titles and the main feature was number 68. Perhaps if they were sorted by size? 2: There doesn't seem to be a way to record subtitles or to

Bold? using color alone might cause problems for people who are color-blind. On the tivo you get an arrow next to it if theres a sub-menu to that option, but this only works as all navigation can be done via up/down/left/right (while rules by the way, you just keep your thumb on the joypad-like

Bold is probably not going to look much different... it's not difficult to do, just change the font definitions, and you're right about the colour, it's not easy to discern low contrast color changes on a low resolution screen. The Tivo idea could work, we could just make a plugin to send

The tivo menu system is very fast once you get used to it. Pretty all navigation can be done via just the arrow keys / direction pad. right enters a new menu / selects an option (i.e. play movie). When you're done with the movie left will back you out etc, more lefts will back you up the menu

Tivo is really cool. Now (CVS) we support, in single column mode, LEFT to go back and RIGHT to enter menu/play items, but no visual return on that. I don't think it's a problem, since when you get used to it you don't need arrows to explain to you anymore. Gustavo --- Chris Griffiths [EMAIL
