Hi, I was thinking about the future of Freevo some days ago. After some more thoughts, here is a short list what came to my mind:
There are many discussions about new features of freevo on the list/irc. IMHO some are very good ideas, some I don't need. Some are easy, some are hard to do. A (not compelte) list is: o better OSD (still in discussion) o sqlite support (freevo and mmpython) o support to store metadata to an item/file o smb support (automount/handle as media) o support for dvds on harddisc o create fxd file on the fly for recorded show (xmltv info) o plugin support for web- and recordserver Smaller items that come to my mind (based on postings) are: o removing dotfiles in item list o changing the disc id code of mmpython/freevo Still on our todo list are: o live pause for tv o manual record (with freevo, not the webserver) o better bmovl support And our all-time-favorites: o docs (user guide, config guide, plugin writing guide, skin files) o website update o arts (icons/images/skins) This list isn't complete I guess. To make a small look into the future, it may be good to know what you (not only core developers, also other people) are doing right now to avoid duplicate work. o what are you doing? o do you need help? o do you have free time and want to do one item from the list above? As for me, I will only develop at the freevo core. I think of my job as the guy who fixes bugs in the core and adds some features a plugin developer may need. I'm on the project for 1.5 years now, nearly one year the maintainer and I spent a lot of time into Freevo. The numbers of DVDs to watch and books to read is growing for the last months (I have DVDs lying around for half a year now, not watched once). I spent most of my free time with Freevo, but this will change. I will slow down a little (not stop). So every help is welcome to keep this little project running. I may do some of the stuff above, but it will take some time.
