Hi there, I found a "small solution" for one of the above mentioned suggestions by changing some settings on the skin descriptor "DialogDateTime.xml" (only for skin "mce" but this should work for the other skins too). There are 11 spincontrols and 1 button (having ids 1-12) which are wired by <onleft>, <onright>, <onup> and...

For a guy who's usually all over Microsoft products with his 5 star stamp, Mr Thurott must really, really dislike their XBOX extender (and even normal extenders to an extent) to stick on only 2 stars...

It would be nice in the xbox media center that you could schedule programs for recording. Also delete programs when finished viewing.

However, if the folder doesn't have pictures in it but only other subdirs, the thumbnail stays empty. Would it be possible to go one level deeper (recurse) to get the 4 pictures...

MP1 MP2 TV Auto tune DE
Bringing this thread up again, since usability is the headline of 0.0.2.0 Cut 4) from first post, that is outdated. The other ones would improve usability greatly. And 5) Can you make the tuning preview of the tv pic as big as possible? The easiest way to map the channels is by the tv logo, which the channels display. But this...

Maybe we just could just remove the "Media Portal" text under the icon and leave the "MP" style picture. Or change it to something similar to Brocklander's icon. Anyone handy with Photoshop/Gimp?

Yep, the ability to add user-defined menu items. Mini-plugins. Have an add button to the plugins page, and you define the name, path, etc. I don't imagine something like this would be too difficult to add to MP, but its more a question of if the developers would be interested in this approach. Generally, there is quite a tight...
