Version 2.5 complaints

carnealse · 08-10-2008, 09:44 AM

I have complaints about the update. I am glad Microsoft listened before, now they need to listen again.

1) The TV series editing is backwards. It forces an episode title, which I do not like, but can deal with. The problem is that it sorts my video by episode title only, and not by TV Series title, followed by episode number. What sense does that make splitting up the series by episode title?
2) I want to be able to edit and shift old movies categorized as "other" right on the Zune itself through the software on the PC while synced. I want to edit info without having to take it off the zune, re-do the video process, edit, then sync.
2b) I want to be able to shift and sort on the fly on my Zune if I am out somewhere.
3) If you drag and drop a video there is an issue I encountered. The first video goes into the collection fine. If you try and drag and drop another one, it denies you. Then you have to click out of "video" to something else then back to "video" in order to drag and drop another video. Repeat. Annoying bug.

I have not messed too much with the playlist function but I have some. I have not found it to be troublesome.

1) It splits them up by series title as well. I have 11 seasons of shows and it sorts them correctly.

2b) There are hardly any portable media players that allow you to do that.

3) I have never had this problem.

Thats fine if most players do not allow on the fly movement or "editing," however that is something I want.
I have 15 episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond Season 1 I have put on it so far but that was before the new firmware. I'd have to re-do all of them, instead of hooking up my Zune and editing right on the Zune, then refreshing the info causing a correct resorting of the videos.
As for the issue with not allowing more than one drag and drop...I still have it. Great you never have, because it is annoying, but that does not mean that the bug does not exist.
I have been dealing with it constantly all day.
The programmers are on the right path, I just feel there is some smoothing out than can be done.
Like Series First, then episode title (optional IMO), then series episode number (necessary IMO).
The ability to at least sync up then edit whats on the Zune through the software without removing and resyncing. Especially when I delete all the movies from my PC after syncing with my Zune. That becomes a hassle.
Still, I love my Z80 and nothing will ever change that.

the one problem i have, is say i put some drag some music into my collection and it makes a new album even tho i have one for that artist, i drag the new album into the right one and it pops up are you sure you want to do that and i say yes. then next time i try and drag some music into the collection it shows that warning again even though im not dragging any albums, i have to close the software and reopen for it to correct itself.
