RE: Re: xPLRioNet Web/xPL Implementation of Movies and Pictures

Another thing to consider - levels of "Do Not Disturb" - this is
something I have been looking at with XBMC - being able to set a level
of DND within the app (and sending an xPL status message to let people
know that DND is set) that allows no OSD messages (apart from menus,
obviously) or some OSD, and so on.

I'd imagine the behaviour (return to menu, return to where-I-was) should
be configureable, based on user preference.

And a couple more points:

1) We need to think about priority - e.g what happens if an xPL message
commands a picture be displayed but a movie is already playing?  Can it
stop and restart where it left off?  That would be the best way to
enable things like audio announcements, but is it possible?

2) If a media file is triggered by an xPL command, what screen do we
return to when it is finished?  I hope it can be the one we were on,
rather than the main menu - then I could potentially add a button to the
MVP menu that sends a command (e.g weather) to an xPL app that responds
with an image.  One further press of the remote should put me back to
that MVP menu page.
