More Needed Features

[DarkManX16]

As of this month it would be 1 year since I've started using this program and I've enjoyed it so much especially after trying other programs, they just don't compare to DTV. After playing around with ErsatzTV and Tunarr I think this program could use some needed features and fixes that would make it #1:

• Playback Order Options
  Shuffle In Order, Shuffle (all episodes will play but out of order), Random (random episodes played but with repeats) and Repeats

• SAVE/Backup Dizquetv
  There should be a way to save our setups just in case something happens and our Dizquetv gets deleted or corrupted, Tunarr has this option

• Season Start Point
  This would be used more with timeslots, we should be able to pick which season we want a show to start with instead of having to start over when doing a fresh start of Dizque

• FLEX Additions
  Flex for the most part is great but the gamechanger is mid-show commercial breaks. If you could find a way to implement for people to have "We'll be right back" bumpers and then have commercial breaks in between. Very similar to how ETV has pre-roll and mid-roll but in this case the WBRB bumpers and commercials will have their own slots. A slot for up next bumpers would be great touch too.

I also saw someone suggest a program that could help detect scene changes for mid show commercials: https://www.scenedetect.com/
This program can detect fade in and fade outs so this is an option to consider

• Modernize/Customize Web UI and Guide

• Search Engine in Web UI

• Fix Other Codecs

• Play Channel In Web UI

• Block Scheduling and Timed FLEX
  Similar to how ETV has it to where each show has different filler set for it, I think DTV could have this to make it easier for someone who's trying to create a Nickelodeon channel with a Nick JR block or a Nick at Nite block and have the commercials and bumpers already set without having to get up and manually change them

• Fallback encoder
  I hate having to switch encoders when a certain show can't handle the default encoder. Maybe add the abilty to have 2 encoders or a fallback encoder just in case things breakdown
