Retrospective

Sadly, forum member and DTB contributer jelwood has decided to hang up his green buttoned remote.  Jelwood is a long time user and contributor to DTB; many features and functionality are due to his direct input and contributions. I've probably missed some things, but here's a short list of the big ones that I remember off the top of my head:

  • Extender support
  • Skipping options: dialog, max and min skip values, not skipping past the end of shows
  • Native dvr-ms support in Mencoder and Ffmpeg (huge advance in device support)

 

He was nice enough to list out the reasoning behind this decision (after some encouragement).  Given his contributions to this community and the level of experience with both the MC platform both on the PC and using extenders it would be shameful for the perspective to go unheard.  Ideally, it would be great for this feedback to find it's way to someone who can do something about it.  I don't know if there's anyone who reads this that can do that, but the folks in Redmond who make decisions about the platform should take a read and get a true power user's take on things.
