MP1 MP2 HDTV skin DE
Should be nice & useful for our (very near future) HDTV format use :) Talked about on : http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3120 720 p would be a good choice..

I would love to have an optimized skin for HDTV. Much space is unused when using the normal skins. Also the OSD uses too much space...

I suggest to implement an optional fade over between two titles in myMusic. When listening to a playlist it's often nice to have a smooth, gap-free transition to the next title. The user should be able to switch fade-over on and off from the MP GUI, not via configuration, because there are types of audio where fading makes no sense...

Would it be possible to have a hidden status screen that can be invoked from the TV screen that would show DVB bit rate or any other useful information (such as maybe aspect ratio).

I totally agree. But for now it's a workaround as there are no real alternatives. Maybe it's built in some time. If you are a programmer, you can get the sources and implement this feature. You can send it in, maybe it will be included then.

You can enable the plugin at the plugins-section of configuration.exe. Put a cross to "Enabled" and in which section you want it to appear. For now, you can add a button to your MCE remote only, if you'd change /xbmc/MCE2005Remote.cs as it is hardcoded at the moment. You need other remotes if you need to configure it on your own.

This is related to mpeg2 transport streams While the Audio & Video decoding filters are important for image quality. The file source (reads and identifies the 2 or more channels mutliplexed together) and the demuxer (which splits them apart) and feeds them to the decoders, if these dont work you can't seek properly, have bad audio...

I liked the option "view this channel" in the program guide that was available as an option when selecting a program in previous MP versions, but has disappeared in 0107. Did I miss a discussion about this? Any chance this will come back?

0000325: view ain't remembered seems to be about Album/Artist/Genre views. I'd like MP to also remember the setting of List/icon/big icon/Filmstrip view, after off/on of MP. Also, two different "view" is not very logical. Keep up the good work! /Niclas

I reckon it'd be good to be able to set the recursive slideshow to a random order, rather than going through the albums/photos in alphabetical order. Cheers Chris

You can choose an external application in Configuration.exe but you will loose MP's "power" over the played movie, i.e. small movie windows embedded in the skins, OSD, etc. If you do that, keep an eye on the command line arguments.

Just to add more weight to the topic I have the same problem. I've got a Hauppaueg PVR150 which accepts input only from the Composite#1 channel. It is not tuned in to any other channels. I've also got a Nova-T which is tuned to all the digital channels. Switching between the two cards is possible (ish) but you have to select the...

Pretty self-explanatory - must have been an oversight when laying out that page, but a Page Up/Page Down with keypresses mapped to the standard pageup/pagedown would be wonderful. :)

My media portal machine doesn't have a mouse and keyboard, and I'd very much like to use the remote control to do as much as possible. Currently you have to use the 'Y' key on the keyboard to add to playlists. It would be super if you could add to playlist by double clicking, so to speak, with the remote control. I have the MCE...

MP1 MP2 Uninstall icon DE
I think an uninstall icon is useful. You can uninstall MP in software, but you can create also create an icon yourself. Usually it's the installer's task. :wink: Target: %windir%\system32\MsiExec.exe /X{E95FD367-B0A7-420B-A95A-E8888D3C0C99} Directory: %windir%

I'm missing something like that, too. When MP crashes, it can happen that the .NET debug-window is behind MP, so you don't know if it's crashed or still working. Could be useful for searching operations, internet connections or entering MyTV, for example.

I think i there should be a thing similarly a Hourglass if Loading f.e. the My Tv. A thing like the Circle in Windows Media Center.

MP1 MP2 Improved IMDB usage DE
I like the idea with a file for every movie. Look at GAM, it use separates files, and is much faster than MP. Saves both the info file and the picture. In the info-file You should find: 1/ filename (s) for movie (> 1 file -> easy stacking) 2/ picture name 3/ disk number (if movie file don't exists -> offline movie) 4/ normal...

When viewing music or movies in any icon mode, MP splits the list of files up into multiple pages. When you click on the down arrow from the last page of files it plays a file with a highlighted icon the mouse isn't pointing at. Instead it should do nothing since the down arrow should be disabled.

Try the Winamp plugin, Winamp is IMHO way better for playing movies... It may not necessarily LOOK better though, at least without some tweaking. If you do this, you will want to use the "Auto Fullscreen" plugin that is floating around on the Winamp forums. Be sure you are using the latest version though, the old ones don't work...
