Works great! Especially if the app is idle and goes to the changing desktop screen. Just continue to watch where you left off.

Oh, and I thought there was something wrong with my setup. Was doing that refresh/reload thing with the chrome app to see if the problem would go away. I stumbled into this new feature recently when I needed to do something and decided to pause the show I was watching for a while (in my case it was a rather long skype phonecall). It happened again when I decided to take a break from a series marathon and took a shower. :P

It does not happen to me often (so far those are the 2 cases where I experienced it) but in my opinion maybe 20 minutes is a bit too fast? Yes an option to ask is also a good suggestion. Maybe can prompt the user and can opt to not ask again for this session but will ask again next time you use the app, or ask to be reminded again or if the user does not answer in 5 minutes it will auto go to the "screensaver" mode.

That temporary screensaver mode when idle is a great suggestion also.

Just wanted to say that I'm liking the new mobile app! Great work development team. The interface looks slick. The ability to track completed shows is there and the progress of the currently showing video is shown as well. Great work on the desktop-mobile pairing. Maybe it was not such a good idea to sync up all the video contents of my 2 NAS that I use to store media with a total of 5 Terabytes (in terms of difficulty in file organization given the limited ways to show the information at the moment - either recent downloads or alphabetical) but the process was faster than I expected and it worked without a hitch.

Further suggestions:

• Maybe introduce new ways of organizing the files to make it easier to wade through a lot of video files (if there is a way to categorize the files by genres for example via drag and drop whole folders of video in the desktop and the generated metadata is used to organize the files on the mobile app in a much meaningful way would be great).

• Currently the tracking is enabled if you have the mobile app running. Even if it was initiated on the chrome app it will still track it when you open the mobile app in the middle of watching the show. However videos you have watched using only the chrome app will not be tracked. Suggest to make this available in the chrome app as well and do a sync of completed shows for both mobile and chrome applications.

I couldn't praise the new features enough. Keep up the good work development team!

@Lommelun oh thanks for the tip. It may be crude but it beats previewing the files one by one.

@Harder good point. I never really paid attention to the subtitle options until I decided to have a marathon watching of some of my Anime series. I am endorsing your request. Particularly size please :)

@eyesofnova Ooh like the ability to define a location that is constantly scanned and updated for new content?

@eyesofnova Glad you like it. I have gotten around the limitation of not being able to initiate new video files from the mobile app by just dumping whole seasons of shows in my playlist. This however presented organizational issues of its own.

When watching whole season of shows, it is good to take a break once in a while. I would like to request for a feature that makes it easy for me to see where I have left off such as marking on the playlist all the videos that have been watched. This way I can load whole seasons of several shows on the play list and can quickly switch between shows. A grouped folder view in the playlist once you have added that adding by folder in the playlist will be great also for organizing.
