Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: miro
Ubuntu Lucid x86_64 on 2.6.32-21-generic using Miro 3.0.1
This is a bit of a feature request I guess and I'm not sure where to
post this but will happily move it where it's appropriate if given
instruction.
When I change the Auto Download to "New" after a period of being "Off"
and gathering videos in the stream, Miro wants to download the entire
list of videos in a behavior similar to Auto Download "All." Now what
it's actually doing is downloading videos from the last time I actually
viewed a file (or if I never have, download all files from the
beginning), but after months of not watching anything in the stream, I
just wanted to start downloading files from this point in time forward,
not all the ones that I "missed." Should there be a threshold of time in
the preferences that allows for that behavior to change from the
"Download everything I missed" behavior to "Skip what I missed and
download everything new from this point forward" behavior?
Steps to reproduce:
1)Subscribe to feed with Auto Download = Off
2)Loose interest in that feed and don't watch anything in there for a while
3)Wait until you get ~100 entries, regain interest, and want to watch the feed
again from this point forward
4)Change Auto Download = New in said feed
5)Play download cancellation whack-a-mole for the entire list of 100 when all
you wanted was that first video
Expected behavior:
1-4 Same as above
5)Setting in preferences sees that the number of "unwatched" downloads exceeds
users threshold and nothing downloads until a new video pops up on the feed in
the future.
6)For that one video the user wants to watch, he/she just clicks to download it
