first request and then wordiness:
request: when one presses the white button or the "title" button on the remote, can the first two options be:
1. resume (or "play")
2. play from the beginning
now the wordiness:
i know that there's a feature to resume a video that's been started by pressing the white key (or i think "title" button on the remote) in the file listing. when you do this, the top option is to "resume". several options down the list is "play with". it would be nice to have resume be the first option and "play" as the next option. that way, you can choose with minimal moving of the selections whether to start the file from the beginning or resume.
also, if the file has not been started and then stopped, when pressing the white key / title button, "resume" is not an option (which, of course makes total sense). but, once you have the menu opened, you have to go down several spots to select "play with".
so, ideally, having the options when pressing the white button / title key on a video file be:
1. play (or "resume" as it currently is worded)
2. play from beginning.
would allow for easy choices once in the menu as to whether or not to start the video from the beginning or resume. if the file had never been started and then stopped, then "play" or "resume" would simply do the exact thing as "play from the beginning". basically, it would play from the last viewed point. if you haven't viewed the video previously, then the last viewed point would be the same as the first viewable point (or, the beginning).
i know that there's already a thread that starts to talk about the resume feature (this one but it seems like it's become an "auto start after power-off" thread.
thanks.
