Hi All,
This is by invitation -- to state what my frustrations are with Theatre View, so I'll go straight to them.
* When entering my "TV"or "Documentary" folder in Theatre View, I would like to be able to see the last watched item first, that is go back to where I left off last time.
* When scrolling over a set of TV Seasons it would be nice to see how many episodes remain to be viewed (Just try finding where you were in "Columbo"for example :))
* Quick switching of subtitles
* Quick "stretch the screen"for old movies and TV shows.
* To have a quick way to shuffle all in an audio playlist or an album
* Have an instant "exit media center" button. (not escape - I can't get escape on my remote).
* I can't remember the rest ...
Finally, to have these options selectable in some sort of customisable floating toolbar which is visible in Theatre View when hovering in a certain area of the display.
It is still the best software and I have no intention of quitting, but some of the above would truly enhance our enjoyment at home.
Cheers.

This can already be done by adding a Lasted Played menu in theatre view under shows and sort descending. You can put this anywhere you want in the theatre view menu as an option.

That ones a hard one....
* Quick switching of subtitles
This can be done with the MCC command [10052] MCC_SET_SUBTITLES.
Put this MC19.exe /MCC 10052,-1 into a custom remote command under Tools-->Options-->Remote Control-->Commands-->Add-->custom-->Add Run
And then "learn" the key from your remote for that command.
(-1 toggles forward, -2 toggles backwards)
* Quick "stretch the screen"for old movies and TV shows.
Same as above, MC19.exe /MCC 28022,-1 which is MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_ASPECT_RATIO
( -1: cycles; 0 - 8: selects individual Aspect Ratio Modes)
* To have a quick way to shuffle all in an audio playlist or an album
Toggle Shuffle can be learned in the MC remote control settings and triggered by your remote.
"Ctrl + R Reshuffle" and "Ctrl + Shift + R Shuffle Remaining" can also be used with MCC commands, but the above is simpler.
* Have an instant "exit media center" button. (not escape - I can't get escape on my remote).
Assuming you mean close media center, add this to your remote command list and learn a key for it.
MC19.exe /MCC 20007,1 (0: normal, 1: force close(close media server) , 2: force close (allow media server))
Finally, to have these options selectable in some sort of customisable floating toolbar which is visible in Theatre View when hovering in a certain area of the display.
Keep wishing... :) But I guess having all those above programmed into your remote makes that a bit redundant. A lot of those options do come up on the bottom when your watching a video if you just use up arrow or cursor on the remote.

Wow!
Thanks very much for the thoughtful reply .... I'll see if I can get them done.
