I am working on the next version of the software. I am moving away from it being a dedicated application for SageTV and more towards an application that can funnel a variety of video sources into the iPod. I will be adding the ability to indicate whether a video source is either a TV Show, Music Video, Movie, Home Video or Other. If it is designated as a TV show, playlists will be generated for each show. It will be able to take TV shows from any source (i.e. TiVo or downloaded BitTorrent TV content) as long as the naming convention is Showname - EpisodeName.xxx. If the source is designated as a Music Video, Movie, Home Movie or Other, it will be put into the appropriate playlist (playlists for each will be created).

I will also be adding the ability for users to specify all encoding parameters for FFMPEG. This will allow those non-iPod users to adjust the encoding parameters specific for their application.

Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Also, I have added a forum. While I don't mind receiving improvement suggestions via email, it might be better to discuss future improvements of the software on the forum. I will be posting new versions there as well as answering any questions/issues people are having with the software. I've added a link to the forum on the right side of this page.

Keep the suggestions comming!
