I would KILL for this...

I would even appreciate it if TMS scanned up any of the available "comment" fields in an MP4, and allowed us to use them in the XML tree...

What's interesting is that in the navtree documention there is a supposed field for this

'dc:description'

And yeah I tried it with <container buildon='dc:description'

but no luck

"If" it did work it wouldnt have to be perfect either (max length of 255 or something)
as for ex: on the ps3 if the name is to long it actually scrolls the name of the item
not sure if it does this for folder items though
will have to go create a folder with a name length of 255 to check
