Forums

I've just started trying to use the AMP for some home entertainment and I must say it has been a challenge to enjoy this product in its current form. Perhaps I dont have a grasp on what the expressed functions of the player are, and what advantages can it offer me over the myriad of other players and services.

I can find nowhere else to leave feedback and suggestions or have dialog with adobe developers so I thought, like in many other Adobe product forums, to begin a feature request thread in hopes that if enough users add feedback we may eventually have an improved product. In the same regard users can enlighten others as to what functions they find useful already. Its not meant to be a gripe list but a chance to voice constructive ideas and share experience with the product.

Preamble complete, I will have first go:

1) The system options seem very limited to me, for instance I can not find an option to view or change in what directory\folder the video files are downloaded or cached to.

2) A minimized view or skin would add benefit for me. It seems now the only options are full screen and a small window housed inside the AMP program window. With any other media player I have used one can play a file in a resizable window without all the other program buttons and menus eating up your screen space.

3) Video controls options during playback, like chroma level, brightness/contrast, gamma. This is standard on other players.

4) I get annoyed when I am watching a video and I pause and go to the home or favorites tab, AMP automatically disconnects the video I was playing, and the I must search the catalogue to find it, restart it, and re-watch the commercials if any to re-cue it to the last viewing spot.

5) I dont really appreciate the default favorites or new episodes listed. That is not needed.

6) There are no right click menus? Odd. At the least I would like to be able to right click a video file to pull up information on it. In fact, I would like any method of looking at files information. This goes hand in hand with the general lack of user options throughout the program.

7) Last one for now, but a big one. Why in the world would AMP not support more video formats? I, like most computing people, horde all kinds of different media files in my various libraries. If AMP cant play them it has a big disadvantage to all of the other ubiquitous media players out there.

Thats it for starters. Hopefully I will start get more familiar with the program and then find more benefits. Please, add to this thread if you have any thoughts on the AMP.
