Suggestion: ‘Type’ Categories for Feeds #84

Love how simple the app is to use and it’s really nice having this option for the videos after I returned my Apple TV.

In the settings for that, you can select the categories of videos, e.g. Cityscapes, Nature, etc. Would it be possible to offer a similar list of categories in the manifest list? I usually deselect Cityscapes because I much prefer nature and world scenes rather than concrete jungles.

Thanks for the suggestion, this is something I'm hoping to add in the next couple of updates.

And in future, there will be a screen that allows you to select individual videos.

For the moment, the only way to achieve this is to download only the videos you like, then select local playback.

Thanks for the response! It’s all working great on my tv and i enjoy the views. I also like the short or long place title option, sometimes you just don’t want that much detail.

Short and longer (POI) descriptions will always be an option, mostly because there are no longer descriptions or POIs for some older and community videos.
