Feature Requests

• Browsing a large library is really awkward, having able to filter by genre is a must have feature.
• Including artists that only appears in collections should be optional. Edit: It look like the setting from XBMC is applied.
• Take some design notes from Music Pump Remote for Android in regards to: * Ease of browsing * Fitting gui to small and large screen. * Artists info window. * Playlist that is managed by the app which makes it possible to change the output (between local to remote) and thus enables a continues listening experience (imagine moving from amplified speakers to laptop or smartphone headphones), although if the webgui is access by multiple users one might want to keep the current behaviour (so maybe have this optional via a setting).
• Future feature (when enabled in XBMC) would be transcoding audio (must due to bandwidth caps when streaming through mobile networks).
• Keyboard shortcuts (same as XBMC, like Space as Play/Pause and etc...).
• More app like experience in general like asking for confirmation for tab closing when audio is played locally), custom context menu (example Dropbox website) with actions (like Equeue, Equeue After Current, Play Now ...).
• Downloading current playlist would be great (nice feature of CherryMusic, doesn't have to be a saved playlist).
• Controling pvr radio would be very useful as I got a nice list of online radio station set as pvr radio with IPTVSimple.

• Hide watched TV/Films? If it's marked as watched in XBMC don't show me it. I can't see any options for anything really.
• Paged items. Instead of scrolling for more, have page 1, 2 etc. (This also solves the all albums problem)
• XBMC playlists? Is it possible to see them? IIRC you have to do it with files.getdirectory and it's a PITA.
• Hide/show right-hand playlist.

• For keyboard navigation, may I suggest looking at:

so far I'm extremely pleased with this widget. The only downside is the documentation on keyboard shortcuts is not embedded on the widget so if I forget something I have to look it up in my saved location. Some times it's easier to swipe to the dashboard, some times I'm already using Chorus and would love to navigate with the shortcuts, there's room for an overlap in functionality!

• It would be nice if you could make a wake/sleep timer that would send a stop (or even exit, but stop is better for me) signal to the player for those times you want to fall asleep with a playlist going, but don't want it going all night. Similarly, you might want to wake up to a glorious playlist!

• YouTube / dailymotion / vimeo, etc enqueue service

• Queue after current option

By the way, chorus is amazing already!

HI jez ;-) what about Live TV Support?

[Raytestrak]

Hi Jez, it would be awesome if chorus had more editing options. Like titles, movie sets or artwork. That would be really great. For instance, I have the resident evil series and Indiana jones series. I had to edit the in the exported nfo and reimport them to show the in the proper order. Doing so from a web interface would be so much easier. Also, but maybe that's not even possible, it would be great if Chorus could make use of smart playlist that have been made by a user.

It would be great if Chorus would hide TV shows that don't have episodes in them when the option hide watched is activated.

It would also be great to see set support in movies. I have added all my home movies to XBMC via .nfo files and gave them a set name but now I get them all separated in the movie view.
