proposal ideas

[Sunanda Shanbhag]

hello,

I am Sunanda Shanbhag and I'm doing my third year of bachelors in computer
engineering in India. I have two very interesting ideas which fit into the
ideas that have been suggested on the ideas page. Also, I have an idea
which is my own, which I thought of sharing with you.

1. Search facility for music in Plasma Media Center
         PMC is a wonderful product and can be made more user-friendly by
giving options of searching according to albums, artists, tracks, etc. An
option of search can be made. Once clicked, the user will see a popup of
available search options(eg: search artist, search track name, etc). My
basic logic is to sort the option chosen. Eg: if user chooses to search
track name, the songs will be sorted alphabetically according to track
name. Once sorted, searching will be easy using binary search. Also,
*predictive
text* and *a list of earlier searches *can be shown in order to make
searching easy.

2. Video cropping and sharing
         Suppose the media memory is almost full, and the user has a whole
movie in the video library, but he wants only a part of that movie.
Currently, he has to store the whole movie in order to watch the part he
wants. I thought of an option given to the user, where* the user can crop
the video, save only the part he wants, and delete the remaining movie*.
Hence, the user can get rid of unwanted parts and keep his machine clean
using PMC directly, instead of downloading video cutting products.
This clip can be shared on social networking sites via PMC.

3. Using cloud to access media in other devices
        This is an idea, which i thought will be very helpful for users.
Suppose I have a photo on my Linux machine and i need to show it to a
friend outside. As I can't take my machine everywhere, I can make use of a
PMC app on my phone which will show me the media on my machine, using the
cloud. I can carry all my media everywhere using PMC cloud.

Please let me know how you find my ideas, and suggest improvements.

Thank you

Regards,
Sunanda Shanbhag
