Example 1: My teen has a favorite for "MTV Cribs" but no one else watches it. With a subscription model he would be the only one subscribed so that after his profile watched it it would be marked "Watched by All" instead of just his profile.

Example 2: Both he and his mom would subscribe to "Psych" but not I. After both of their profiles have watched it it would be marked "Watched by All" instead of assuming that I would want to watch it also.

Also, there could be an option to auto-delete once "Watched by All" is set.

BTW, the screen shot look awesome. Maybe you all could officially work with Sage to make the default UI for STV7?

Maybe the team members missed this but would like to answer/comment?

Hi,

In its current form no, we do have plans for something similar to this but at the moment all it does is watched and watched position.

Cheers

This brings up another question regarding the user profiles. Are the recorded shows separated? So, if I record something on Skinemax, would everyone see that it was recorded? Also, do the profiles have some sort of security, like a password or PIN code?

This was in regard to profiles, but I didn't see anyone comment. Based on Ben's most recent response, I get the feeling none of this has been considered yet, correct?

You are correct, its not been considered yet. We did discuss this very briefly but I think the overall out come was not to include it in the initial release.

Sorry....

No big deal. Hopefully it'll make it into a future release. Thanks for responding, though!

I'm liking the screen shots posted so far... I'd really like to see the guide and as many other screens you guys are willing to show us...

The plan was to release screenshots of various area's within the STV up until release to keep the anticipation high rather than just dump a load of images all at once

The next set of images are planned for 2-3 weeks time and will probably show season/episode selection with filtering, missing episode's, TVDB auto updating etc.... this may change of course and we could show a different area altogether.

Oh sure, tell us what we'll be seeing in 2-3 weeks time

I think you can safely assume that anticipation is through the roof. I practically jump every time I see this thread is updated. People around here think I have some kind of a medical condition.

Sounds fine to me. Thanks.

One question, will you be able to give us a list of features? Like how customizable everything will be, ability to add menu items...

Yes at some point....not just yet though.

...Very much looking forward to this.

I don't think this was mentioned yet, but will the PlayOn Online Services functions all be included (I'm guessing, since they are now in default Sage, that they will be)?

Also, will plug-ins that are not included in the package still be functional, or will this require them to be re-written? I am guessing the latter (similar to how STVIs would not work in SageMC). For example, any chance of incorporating michaeldjcox's web feed encoder, so that internet radio and streaming video sources would be possible? Or any of the various other methods of adding streaming radio? There are also very simple ones that might get overlooked, such as the old "tuner renaming" plug-in, or the Weather Report Suite. And will there be the ability to rearrange things within menus, add screens, etc., similar to with nielm's dynamic customizable menus?

Please don't read this wrong as being some sort of demanding list - I am just curious what all is on the team's checklist of "definitely want to incorporate", or even if any of these are "impossible to incorporate".
