For the past 4 years, I have been using the Vudu app on my Xiaomi Mi box quite well, but I have noticed over the past few years, it seems to be loosing features and not really improving. Gets me wondering if development has stopped on it. If not, I have a few thoughts I like to see come to the app.
Now, if is no longer in development, couldn't there be a notification built in saying that for I am sure there is a way to have an array of current supported devices and if the device I am on is not on that list, it could put a notification on that.
- Start from beginning button. Too many times, someone finishes watching something and doesn't watch till the end, and when the movie gets re-watched, it starts at the end credits where the movie was last played. I use many other apps, and they all have a "start from the beginning" button. I am surprised this has not been added in yet.
- Being able to group movies together. I know the "List" is available, but not on my TV, tablet, or phone. Would be nice to create a sub folder where I could put all the MCU movies in one folder, all the Potter movies into it, just so I can have some personalized order to the chaos that it is now. I own a few hundred movies, so trying to find something is sometimes a pain. I know about the filter that is there, but, to be honest, it's lacking and not that great. Granted, many others do that part pretty bad as well.
- On certain movies that I have bought, normally ones that have additional content, I have to click on the movie I want to watch, and instead of just having a play button, I have to click down, select the movie, open up that page, and then I click play. Not going to lie, how that was developed was really a poor design and made something that should be quick and simple, more obtrusive. I design scripts, (modules), for various PHP based websites, and when I design something I try to follow the KISS principle. Having that first landing page where you have to select to play the movie, or select one of the special add-ons like behind the scenes, is just unnecessary.
Now, if is no longer in development, couldn't there be a notification built in saying that for I am sure there is a way to have an array of current supported devices and if the device I am on is not on that list, it could put a notification on that.
