yes, i'd love to see mkv support for chapters with somekind of on screen menu to choose the chapter. all my backup movies have chapter names and it would be great to jump to the chapter just like current bookmarks work now. also, it would be nice to skip around by chapters just like on a dvd and for it to display the name of the chapter and then fade away.

ogm chapter support is less important if mkv chapter support is there. i already remux all my ogm files to mkv anyway.

better osd for album info, retreve info from id3v2 tag. with back/next buttons. should auto update from track to track if id3v2 tag is there. great for when not connected to the net or just track to track viewing from playlist.

yeah i have tried it but it seems not to work any more and on top of it it has a problem where if your watching a movie and the phone rings your buttons then wont work remote/controller till you reboot the xbox... the only way this would work well is if it was fully implemented into the osd and xbmc it self... just hope one day it will be

please add the chance to automatically run some app at boot time if the associated controller button is pressed while booting xbmc

Thumbs Up 
the most important feature at the moment is without a doubt better dvd support in general, particularly implementing menu support.

i have at the moment made all my dvd movies isos to better handle them from my xbox side. i then stream them across the network through an smb share.

iso files over 4-5gb basically take a long time to load and generally make xbmc give me the impression that it is not working properly.

this has nothing to do with the speed fo the network, since if i open them through a computer with a dvd player, it works swell.

keep up the most excellent work.
thank you for the best xbox application.

since this is a dream up new features thread...

what i really want is a "recently added" xml script for each individual section, my music, and my pictures, and my programs.  it would serve as a kind of new releases feature for each area of xbmc.  it could work similar to the current recently added media (ram) xml script that is there and working for my videos right now.  this would make it completely configurable by skin designers, it wouldn't be forced upon any user who doesn't like the added info.

last week, i modified my default media experience skin by adding the ram script to home.xml.  then i had compiled a version of xbmc in which the number of ram items shown was altered from the default of 3 to 10 and i ended up with this:

Image

it is awesome to see my 10 most recent videos on the home screen (yes i own these dvds, so nothing illegal here). i can even pick any one of the 10 videos shown and play them directly from the home screen.  it rocks!

i would love to see this extended to support my pictures, my music, and my programs.  each "my" page could have an xml script similar to the current ram script, say recently added pictures, recently added music, etc.  a skin designer could add a recently added music script to the my music section and there it could show the 10 latest albums.  a similar script could be added to the my pictures section and it could show the 10 latest picture folders or pictures (configurable) you have added.  same deal with the my programs section.

i am running in 720p hdtv mode so i have lots of screen real estate to display 10 items, but i would recommend that the number of items become configurable in the xml.  in this way a skin designer could show say 3 for pal/ntsc modes, 10 for 720p mode, and maybe 15-20 for 1080i modes just by altering the xml.  

i would also recommend a refresh time.  right now i have to restart xbmc to force the list to update.  i leave xbmc on most of the time, so as i add movies, it would be nice to see that list update every xx hours on its own.

it would be nice if one could limit the number of shares it scans for new media.  i have 10 shares under my videos, stuff like dvd drive, new movies, home movies, tv shows, kids shows, christmas specials, etc.  right now the ram script scans all these and looks them up on imdb.  if i add a new home movie or tv show, it will attempt to look it up on imdb.  imdb gets these completely wrong (as expected) so it would be good to filter out those shares completely.  limiting the number of scanned shares, something like scan the first x# shares with 0 being all shares or something similar would be a welcome addition.  this can just go in the xml tag in the skin, a user just needs to change that one thing for their personal situation.

lastly, it would be nice to have the recently added video/music/pictures/programs scripts be able to display the text for an item in the same place.  for example right now i can show 10 movies, and i can pick any one of the 10 from the home screen.  the problem is that the text for each movie appears in a vertical list (it actually runs off the bottom of my screen the way i have my skin setup right now, but it still works).  it would be cool to have an option to highlight and select the thumbnail rather than the text, and then have the text for the highlighted item appear in one place on the screen.  that text would just change depending on what thumbnail you have selected.  this would save quite a bit of screen room and make layout of new skins easier.
