Let's rewind to some ungodly hour of the morning (let's call it prior to 6.00am, because it well, generally is). Being fast asleep, I'm woken from my slumber by the pitter patter of little feet - or more accurately the clomping of bright and bouncy children.
So out of bed I clammer, half comatose to set up the beloved XBMC with a show for the little cherubs to watch. After the usual bickering of which show should be on today (only slightly less heated than a global warming conference) we're off an running and I climb back into bed...
<100dB>DADDY - THE SHOW FINISHED!!</100dB> This time I can type it in caps, because that's how it sounds in my head
Hence to my question - can there be a way that one can start at a position in a folder and have XBMC play the next file sequentially ? I found references to this being requested before, but have been unable to find a feature which allows this. I realise playlists are an option, but as the kids seem to pick a new program every time to start from (not always on the same share), it would be a fantastic feature to have an option to play next file in list.
It's not too bad for movies, as they afford me a decent block of sleep - however some TV shows are quite short...
I love XBMC - have it running on jaunty minimal with the ppa svn's (recently changed from building them myself) and it's been a wonderful, and slightly frustrating journey to get here. But, aside from some Ralink network card problems, it's mostly done and I'm proud to have stuck it through.
I'd really love the above to be an option if this was possible - and I might live longer in the process, as they say that sleep is good for you...
Thanks for all the work
