HI,
and thanks for feedback!!
"- Is there any way of autostarting the plugin service via the video centre (N95) rather than having to use the web/desktop interface? I've instructed the other half to always switch it off after usage or my server will sit with vlc at 50% for no reason."
"- Any change of a record option in the video interface? This plus my first issue would remove the need to use the web interface 99% of the time."
I have looked Video center specs from forum nokia, and i haven't found way to start service + start tops rec from Video center

we have to hope that nokia implements video center some way to do that in future??

Basicly that was reason why i need to invent WEB ui.
About that VLC & cpu case, i found one bug that if you start service but don't stream VLC stays active 1 hour, but if you stream once, then VLC goes IDLE/shut downs, in 3min and starts again when you start streaming and when you stop it goes IDLE after 3min

I think i can fix that to next version
"- The aspect ratio is only correct for 4:3 material, 16:9 is shown squashed. I'm guessing this is my N95 doing it because it's correct in VLC on the server. Does anyone know how to change this?"
I noticed this same one day, and it's on TO DO list to figure out if something can be done, maybe already on next release??
"- This could be to do with my flakey DVB-T UK signal, but some channels wouldn't start first time, but would probably work second attempt."
Can you get any idea for that from TV.log?
