Where We're Going Next

<< < (8/19) > >>

MrHaugen:
I completely agree. 64 bit support is a big waste of time imo. MC will probably never need the address space. The downsides of using 32 or 64 bit Media Center on a 64 bit system is probably so small that nobody would notice anyway.

My comments in bold.

> 64-bit compile

An internal decision for you. Is it time yet? Can you round up 64 bit versions of all the add-ons you need now? 64 bit codecs and other add-ons will become more available over time.


> Playback of local content with Gizmo

I won't be a user.  Do you mean playback on the phone or playback on the PC running MC?

> Web media like Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube through Gizmo and DLNA

Right now, streaming music services are relevant to me in general.  Video in the future maybe.

> Audio engine as a soundcard driver (for use in any program)

I don't understand this on two levels.  Is there a technical reason you feel it necessary to do this?  Do you see value to JRiver and to its users in routing all PC audio through your audio engine? Do you want to make this MC (virtual) soundcard the default audio output device?

> User accounts in the library

Please keep use of MC simple for those who don't need to use features like this.  The Library server access key feature was a nuisance for quite a while.

> Integrated image viewing and editing

If I can get past the multiple library problem, this would be a big win for me.  I think it would open a new market for JRiver as a tool for photographers.

> More 3d accelerated UI in Standard View

Please don't require use of 3d acceleration in the standard mode UI.

I understand the "Integrated viewing" part but the "integrated editing" part sounds like a complete waste of dev time to me. Leave that to photoshop and the likes. These apps would do this better no matter how much time you spend on such features. There will always be requests for more.

Fokus on complete tagging support instead. Images should be on the level with audio in this area. As many users have noted, there are many things which can be improved:
o MS Photo 1.2 face tags.
o Complete EXIF and IPTC one to one relationship with MC tags
o A View for displaying geotags using Bing or Google maps in theater view, preferably simultaneously with the image.

I agree with TheLion. I think this could be a huge feature that allows J River to be a complete front end for all HTPC usage. I also think this could be sold as a standalone product. I've seen many requests in other forums for an easy way to add EQ or other DSP to their existing programs and even things such as games.
