I like the idea, and we have discussed this yes. But we could not find a good system yet. We r currently still focussing on making a HTPC app. Which means we r an app running 24/7 on a deticated HTPC. This scenario does not really need such a service. Now, this does not say we won't make this service. But for now focus is on...

good idea , but maybe.. The thinking/blinking icon seems a good idea to me, indeed no priority tho. besides, maybe its possible to develop 2 icons 1- pc activity 2- remote command received although the latter is allready represented by means of audible feedback. (soundzz) greets sander

I have a few hundred album folders and run into same problem as favian. I currently use XBMC and it has option to auto-switch views. But I see that MediaPortal is more complicated and databases each folder view which is a neat idea but can get out of hand when dealing with many folders. The problem comes up when one is browsing...

OK, I think I missunderstood this a little ;-) But nevertheless you could use some php code of the core functions like getting stuff out of the database or something like this...

It's true, I don't read much of the documentation. I am lazy and things should be self-evident. In this perspective, if I may, I'll contribute some thoughts.

Yes, such thing would be very nice. the morgan stream switcher filter seems to be a good starting point. it should be able to enumerate the different audio streams and to choose one to be played back.

I guess you all know the free, open source encyclopedia Wikipedia. Available in 100 languages. I think the wiki layout is very well structured and identical for the local wikis.

Hi! It would be nice if one can define an alternative freedb/cddb-server. I have my own server running within my local lan (because I have no permanent connection to the internet). It would be great if I would be able to use this server instead of the currently used server. Keep on the great work!
