I have all my movies and TV series on a networked share in my home, and travel for work sometimes. Because of that I have XBMC on my laptop, and have a folder which I copy titles into from the network. Then I need to rescan, and if I am online the titles get the internet information uploaded etc., then I am ready to go.
It would be nice not to have to do this manually. I would like to configure the same network shares I have on my main XBMC system on my laptop, browse all titles and locally be able to select an option to make a title available offline, i.e. the title would be copied into a local folder on my PC.
I would then be able to still browse my library, and play the cached title, even when I am on the road.
When I clear the offline requirement for the title, it could simply be deleted from the local file store.
As an extension to this, I can see this being useful in rooms in my house which do not have good network reception (and cannot be wired), but do have some. The titles could be cached on a local system and this would prevent buffering interuptions.
Anyone think this might be a valid requirement? I did search...
(And IANAP so I could not just code this good idea myself
)
