The online media slide show feature in Theater Mode is a very attractive option, when we are listening to music.
I was wondering , if this feature could be a little more versatile.
I am not sure exactly which parameters in the ID3 tags are being used to find relevant images, but I presume they are artist name, album , track name etc.
In some cases, this works like a charm. For example, when I play Eric Dolphy, pictures of the artist or relevant album covers are fine.
When I play Greek music (I am Greek by the way), all sorts of irrelevant pictures are being retrieved. Either because the ID3 tag is in Greek characters, or because a word in the ID3 tag means something else in English.
For example when I play songs by a great lady singer called "Marinella", I am getting mostly pictures of a village in Italy called Marinella, which is kind of distracting on my TV. The same with another singer called Arleta. There seems to be a city called Arlete in the US, so photos of various Arleta citizens pop-up in my living room.
So, my suggestion is, can we users have some control over the media slideshow?
Maybe we can override the automatic correlation based on the ID3 tags? Like having a free text field we can use to enter the search parameters?
This could be very interesting in other ways too.
When I listen to classical music by Charpentier for example, the search could be based on "Renaissance Paintings".
Whan I listen to spanish guitar, use "Pablo Picasso"
Think about if if you find the time!!!
Thanks,
