How should combine them?

I think you could take this:
([Filename (path)]="\TV\Recording" or [Filename (path)]="playlater" or [Filename (path)]="\TV Recording") ~sort=[Date Recorded]-d
And make it:
[Filename (path)]="\TV\Recording","playlater","\TV Recording" ~sort=[Date Recorded]-d
It should run quite a bit faster than doing independent or commands.
TheShoe:
On iPad, latest iOS as of this post, either Safari or Chrome - trying to expand a video to full screen does not work. The control is there but tapping it has no effect.
this works fine on both browsers on MacBook

My first impressions of Panel.
it does have potential, I can see it. I don't like the whole web browser aspect but beggars can't be choosers as the saying goes.
That being said, here is my list of gripes/criticisms/wishes/whatever you want to call them,
I'm not complaining because Panel is not everything "now now now" I'm just going through what I would like to see in it as an application that is useful to me.
Caching
I noticed this behavior in JRemote also. There needs to be a way to cache album art so it doesn't have to re download it every. single. time
I don't like the way it buffers tracks, especially since I am forced to use MP3 320kbps (I can't stand 128k MP3)
It seems like it loads nearly half the track (rather slowly...) before it starts playing. It does not buffer ahead the next track or keep the previous track buffered.
Playback Controls
They seem kinda wonky. The Next/Previous buttons on my receiver will seek the currently playing track if held down, however they will not skip to the next or previous track if pressed.
The Play/Pause button on my receiver momentarily pauses the music but then it immediately resumes playing.
Album Up/Down does nothing when you would expect it to go to the next album in library order, etc..
I would like to see playback controls that make full utilization of basic car receiver controls.
Interface
I haven't played with it much. I understand it has a degree of customization available so I'm going to look into it. However I will say it feels slightly clunky in the way it loads/queues songs. I prefer the simple JRemote method where you navigate into an album and start playing from there. I mean you can kind of do it, but then you have to navigate to the actual playlist part of Panel to gain access to playback controls.
I would like to see Album listings reflect Disc # like JRemote does. So I go into an album with 15 or whatever discs, and I can see a clearly delineated list, which helps me find what I want easier if I am looking for a specific starting point. - can this already be done via user modification?
So that's my primay feedback I guess.
A lot of my usage case is for out of the house stuff driving in a car, and needless to say that right now the amount of time I have to pay attention to my phone to set things up or switch an album, etc. is too much. It doesn't make for safe driving. Would love to see that improved.
Summary
I think the Panel should have a way to cache album art, video thumbnails, etc. I haven't modified anything about Safari, maybe its the browser? idk
I think Panel should provide caching options for music. Give us the ability to say "cache next/previous tracks up to X number of tracks". Most people don't mind a brief pause upon starting playback - it's the long pause between tracks that will drive people nuts, especially if they seek a lot. Likewise I'd like to be able to set an initial buffer size in seconds, so it can start playing after 2 - 5 seconds or more have been cached. This will help with large seeking between tracks (i.e seek from track 5 to track 13) if those tracks are not within the cached next/previous data.
I would like to again, reiterate that we need AAC as an option. Preferably AAC-HE of some kind. It will allow us to select much lower data rates for faster program response and reduce the need for a lot of caching in the first place. (caching is still a great option if you live in an area like me which can go from LTE to 3G or no data in some spots).
At the very least I would like to see a 192Kbps MP3 option added in the short term. I think 192k is an acceptable middle-ground between data usage /bandwidth required and sound quality.
Castius:
I really want keyboard shortcuts.
Try https://tv.youtube.com/ is the best example.
sorry is a better example. www.youtube.com/tv

Thanks
Neco:
Can't seem to connect to panel using the access key. I tried both on my iphone (Wifi disabled) and on my local computer (connected to LAN/WAN)
Safari just hangs after I enter the access key, like its trying to connect.
On the PC on Firefox, I get an actual error page "unable to connect" and my WAN IP address/port it tried.
I had no problem with access key resolving in JRemote.
I can access panel directly by http://IP:Port so this seems really weird and not sure where to look for the problem if its on my end.
