Well... To Whom It May Concern :
I've been doing a lot of thinking about Remote Control usage in MJ8 (as most of the time I'm listening to music with it, I'm controlling it via remote) and I have some ideas about what I'd like to see. No doubt some of these are already planned anyway, but here they are.
1. It's occured to me that with this new PlaylistID thing that was implemented, there is now also the possibility to be able to issue a command from a remote and have it begin playing a specific playlist. For instance, any remote control plugin could have 5-10 presets that would store the PlaylistID for a specified playlist, and then the plugin could contain commands to play those presets.
2. Access to Quick Play from the Remote. Something very similar to this was available in 7.2, but it was rather clunky. It would be nice to see this all streamlined in 8.
3. The next/previous playlist commands should be step into playlist groups as well be able to play the entire group. (It should also jump to Smartlists as well - currently it skips them)
Of course, this could be rendered moot if #1 was implemented, but it would still be nice as you'd have a limited number of presets with 1 (not sure how you could offer an unlimited number of presets) and with next/previous playlist you could gain access to the playlists that don't have a preset.
4. It would also be nice to have a next/previous vis option.
