Theater View Feature Requests
« on: November 30, 2024, 10:21:20 am »

1) Is there a way that you could filter out some of the background images pulled from TheMovieDB? The 'screenshot' images of movies almost always are pixilated, faded, blurry, and often don't even resemble the movie you are browsing (i.e. a random shot of something not easily associated with the movie). There are also many images that are low resolution. If there was a way to filter out those types of images, that would make the browsing experience that much better.

2) Could an MCC command be added so that whatever movie you are currently browsing, you could press a button on the remote to bring up Spotlight for that movie? There is a MCC command for Spotlight, but it only works for the move in Playing Now, not the one you are browsing.

3) It would be great if Showtime could always bypass the bookmark of the movie you want to play. I can't think of a reason why anyone would select Showtime to play some trailers, etc.. and then want the movie to not start at the beginning. Seems like this should be automatic.
 
Thanks!

1) I don't think there is a way. On related side it would be great if directory expression for local background images could be used to increase control and to have backgrounds even if internet (tmdb) is down

If an option was added to only show english backdrops, that would filter out all of the other random lower quality ones. The user could then decide if they want fewer but higher quality backdrops, or more random lower quality ones. This would also reduce the total number or downloads.
