MP1 MP2 Music, anyone? DE
Thanks frodo. Besides this do you think the music option will be enhanced in ways people suggested here? I'm convinced this would draw a lot of attention to this neat program.

MP should never try to become MCE, and I bet it never will. But the two things you bring up should definitely be incorporated in MP because they are two very useful features which make your life a lot easier :wink:

Any luck? I was just trying to teach Media Portal the commands for my ExpressVu tuner through USBUIRT, but once it asks me to press and hold "0" the UI freezes. The internal commands can be learned just fine. Without this feature how can I teach Media Portal how to change channels on my satellite box? I already have Girder commands...

I just watched my harddrive while recording a tv show and saw that media portal creates both a dvr-ms and an mpeg file while recording. Couldn't the same thing be achieved by "frameserving" the dvr-ms while converting it? The benefits of using frameserving is that it would reduse fragmentation on the disk and wouldn't use as much...

I would love to see the channel logo displayed in the MCE and Blue skin in My TV next to the channel information. The logos already appear in the TV guide, and when in fullscreen mode when accessing the controls. Thanks.

Hi, I've got many movies on 2 or 3 discs and it would be cool if Media Portal asks for the next cd when the first part of the movie ends. We could set the number of discs in the video database.

I was actually discussing WebScheduler with a colleague yesterday and it sounds like there are some really good features of Webscheduler that would be great to have incorporated in MP. I'd definitely second this idea!

Unfortunately as I could see now MediaPortal can't provide support for UTF-8 (and as well other "non iso-8859-1" :wink: based encodings like windows-1251 ). As it's stands now MediaPortal could display texts in this encodings in some places where standard Windows fonts used instead of generated "skins" fonts. :( So far in existing...

Excellent! I hope (damn my poor english) you understood what I mean with "unique". I don't know any program which could record every PID for one channel. As far as I know for example TSReader records every PID of whole frequency.

MP1 MP2 Index File DE
It'd be nice to have index files for directories, since as far as I'm aware there isn't an equivalent to id3 tags for movie (and image) files. This would be particularly useful for removable media. Perhaps CSV or XML with something like the following: Television: filename, Show, Year, Episode, Title Images: filename, Year...

MP1 MP2 Local RSS feed DE
The patch to allow local files has now been submitted to SF. Note, you do have to specify file:/// in your paths for it to work correctly but that's nothing compared to how much more responsive My News is when using local feeds.

I do this in my Online Content Plugin - it loads assemblies on the fly. However, I don't think MP should do this because it will mean modules will take longer to load, and also it prevents modules from listening in and acting on events in other modules. For example, lets say you delete a file in My Explorer - My Music can in theory...

Hello. Some SVCD images are shown only as "CD Image file". It is very frustrating when you start a movie and it's the wrong disc! Sometimes it is not possible to change disc, you have to mount another disc-set first and then go back to your first cd set. Maybe there is a bug here as well? /Niclas
