Research direction

Split the request into separate features for filter sorting and display, player repeat, and custom backdrops. Start by locating the admin settings, movie information screen, video player, and backdrop upload flows; done should be defined separately for each feature before implementation begins.

Description

Enhancement More Info required

Hello,

I have been using this project for a bit and I love it. After a fair bit of usage, I've compiled a list of possible enhancements:

  • Allow sorting movies by Filters. Filters are vastly superior to Genres, since Genres are pulled automatically, whereas Filters are customizable; so if for example one hosts videos that are not matched by any of the genres, sorting by certain Filters would be super useful. To maintain a clean interface and reduce clutter, perhaps an option in the Admin settings would allow toggling between sorting by Filters or by Genres.

  • Show Filters in movie info screen. See above, Filters are vastly superior due to their customizability.

  • Option in video player to Repeat. This is fairly self-explanatory, a Repeat option would be appreciated.

  • Ability to upload backdrop image for non-OTHER videos. Once again self-explanatory, it seems like an oversight; Backdrop images are normally pulled automatically by the API, however adding a custom Backdrop image would allow for even further customization.

Thanks in advance for your review!
