Better navigation / channel switching / shortcuts?
Using "Rii Mini i25" remote control with my Linux HTPC noticed that arrows up and down are not quiet working the most intuitive way. If I select a channel from a list I would expect the next down/up arrow press to navigate me to next/previous channel from the list on the left. Rarely it works. However if you have clicked somewhere else - it forgets that i am in that list. So I have to mouseclick on the channel again and only then up/down somehow works sometimes.
I understand that you have designed this app to be navigated by mouse on a pc not a remote control from your htpc. Therefore I see it would be a very helpful thing to have custom shortcuts we could define: like next channel from current selected list (or active channel group, or favorites) / previous channel from current list (or active channel group, or favorites). So i can easily switch channels as well as assign other functionality to different keys.
FOA, thanks for this useful app.
+1 on this feature request.
It would be interesting to see an small set of keyboard shortcuts (channel prev/next, group prev/next, channels list on/off, volume up/down, fullscreen on/off, go to live, ...) so the app can be operated from the keyboard when needed.
As a suggestion, here's what VLC and YouTube use. I'd love to see these (and others) implemented in IPTVnator.
Definitely has to be configurable, we use so many devices now to control the htpc that you do not want to nothing to be cut in stone. With keyboard it may work one way, with remote - totally different. Thanks
For desktop, specially for Mac, not having a Command-Q to quit is pretty weird (since it's the most basic function). Then maybe a "Window" menu, with zoom, sizes, etc. Something like what VLC has in the "Video" menu.
