Well, as you asked
The TV functionality a great addition to JRiver, but for me its not quite polished enough yet to roll out to the wife.
some specific enhancments I would like to see are listed below (alot of these have been mentioned already in the forums):
1) The Guide grid dynamically slide along to keep up-to-date with current time. Currently if you go into the Guide then select a programme to watch live, then return to the Guide, it presents the same original static grid which is now out-of-date.
2) Record & Subscription indications within the programme slots so you can easily see if they are configured for record/subscription (WMC use one red light / series of red lights which is very effective)
3) A way to view and edit all the scheduled recordings / subscriptions within Guide
4) Ability to configure the recording & subscription default values (I'm most interested in start-before, stop-after, When)
5) The record button toggle through options of: Record - Subscription - Cancel (so you can push record record button twice to subscribe to a programme, same as WMC)
6) Current time-of-day (clock) on the same page as the guide.
7) On the menu system, less clicks to get to the TV more quickly that I can today (which is via the menu and then the Guide itself). Basically take me straight into TV and then if I want to, I’ll call up the Guide. Also, when in the Guide, to exit easily I use the escape key, whereas in the rest of JRiver I use the “Left arrow” key. It would be good to make this consistent.
I love the fact JRiver is so easy to install and looks good with a little tweaking and I’m really looking forward to plugging it into my processor & amp to listed to the music once it’s up and running! Having the TV functionality as above would be perfect!
