Requests For Features

[Kevin Lynch]

Thanks John for responding.
I think it's really interesting that mosts of the feature requests are
for things that are already there (my plex suggestion - with the
presets options which is even better than what I was thinking of) or
outside the scope of the product (capture ITV, C4, C5).
