Hello Developers,

I'm testing MP for 2 months now and I was always impressed about stability and functionality. Before, I used Showshifter DVB for 2 years!

But now, I'm really amazed :D :D :D about the last build. Before I wasn't able to zap between AC3 and Stereo TV channels and I needed to use the old (RC 1) setup program to find TV channels. I wasn't able to find any radio channels though.
However, now setup finds about 500 Astra 19 degree channels and about 200 radio stations.
Zapping between AC3 and stereo channels works perfectly.
However, I noticed some synch problems on AC3 channels after about 15 seconds. Every time, un-synch takes place after a short interuption in audio transmission. But I will further investigate this.

The only thing I never liked is the GUI of the music plugin. Before, I used Showshifter and in my opinion, the showshifter music module is benchmark for all HTPC solutions, because:
- When I start my HTPC in the morning, it automatically continues to play the last track. This was excellent for me, because it saves time and I need not to switch on my TV.
So, I would be even more amazed, if someone can implement such behaviour!

But, to sum it up: MP NOW IS NEARLY PERFECT FOR ME!!!!!!

:D

Thanks to all developers!!!!

Uli

    Hmmmm...

    Thats indeed nice to let MP resume playback when it starts up again.
    I I am not mistaken this is allready the case with radio (at least it used to be)

    How do you shutdown your htpc?
    Just turn it off?
    Hibernate ?

    explain some more how you would want to see this feature.
