You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
'add an entry' to which context menu? I don't see a context menu in the my music screens... I would rather not add a party shuffle button on all the my music screens. Using this method, you would need a label on the playlist screen to indicate which folder is being shuffled at the moment - and this brings me back to the space issue...

I think it would be good to integrate a new button for the tv-module. Everytime I'll skip from one channel over 2 or 3 others to the channel that I'll like to see, I have to wait for the channel change of the card and I'll see channel 1, channel 2 , channel 3 and then the channel that I would like to watch in the preview - that's...

I don't think the INFO action should be removed. I really like the fact that I can use F3 to directly go to the info screen. I think it would make more sense to just map the CONTEXT action to the I button on your remote instead of the yellow button.

Sorry, i am no expert on the program. Have you tried to close cuttermaran and re-starting it before adding a new file? Also this problem might have to do with cuttermaran only being able to work with de-multiplexed files. If that doesn't help i have no clue. Try asking on the cuttermaran mailinglist/forum (if there is any). /Peter

Leaving the mails on the server is the default setting for the mail plugin. At least for me it does it that way without changing something in the setup. I even think, that's the only possibility right now ;-) Maschine

MP1 MP2 password lockout DE
a good feature would be to have it so that for extra privacy when media portal is exited that it asks for a password before going back to windows so no one messes around with your media centre box.

Hello - Great product and fast continuous updates, please keep it up!

This...

I agree, that sounds like a great idea. A large blow up of the album art with the track titles to the right, highlighting the "now playing" song would be excellent.

I second that!, there is plenty of space there for it if I´m not mistaken. perhaps even Next song could be displayed? hmm..or even a mini-playlist? whoops, getting a bit carried away...artist info on OSD was the request! :)

On second thoughts, download this if you want to try the fixed Party Shuffle: http://members.dinkum.net.au/plai33/WindowPlugins.dll Then backup your current WindowPlugins.dll (in mediaportal\plugins\window ) to another location (You'll get two of each plugin otherwise). Now copy the downloaded one into the...

Are the new bitrates used for viewing and recording? For me the bitrate of my TV has to be a user setting. For recordings it would be nice to set bitrates for each recording on demand.

I agree that method one is not really ideal, but .net does provide a very nice filesystemwatcher class that does the 'watching' work for you. Web services - there is a web service running in MP if you install the webscheduler plugin. This method is definitely workable - your callerID detection app would call the web service when a...

Hi there, while I haven´t found the time to look that deep into MediaPortal, I already love the "M$ Mediacenter"-like look. I know that there is already a integrated TV module with a scheduler and support for multiple TV cards. Nevertheless I think a open interface to external schedulers would provide a more flexible...

MP1 MP2 mount THEN PLAY DE
Hi, to play .bin files directly you need special codecs. Perhaps you have installed a codec pack merci? In the K-Lite codec pack is the Ligos mpeg player, which can play bin files directly within WMP. But i would not recommend to use codec packs, they can mess up your whole system. IMHO, using daemon tools is the better solution...
