When I start a slidehow the default sorting order is "by size". I think that the default most users would prefer is "by name". I use to add an index number to my album photos, so that they are sorted "by name". My suggestion is to change the default of the sorting order of albums to "name" so as to avoid resetting this every time...

I've been using MP for a total of a week so maybe I overlooked something. I have two possible feature requests. 1) In TV Guide, the left and right arrows seem to control date and the up and down arrows control the time which is cool. However, I have more than one page of channel listings (as I am sure most do) but I can't figure...

@ Mars Warrior: I have the latest drivers too from Asus' own site - should I use thos directly from ATI instead? I have no problem running MP, but I'm just noticing that it's a lot slower than Meedio (yes I know it's alpha SW). So I though there might be room for improvement :-) @ Mr. Mario: I have now installed MP on...

Number #1: If I configure up a radio stream channel, that channel starts autmatically when I boot Media portal. It is displayed with a small icon down left. If I am a mouse user, there is no way to stop the radio from playing (atleast no obvious) I suggest you put a stop button next to the Icon, that would greatly enahance...

Great to hear! I´d prefer paging. First page binded keys, 2nd page, if needed, general keys. Include the global keys if possible. This would be a good start. Keep it simple You could use graphical letters for the keys, if you want to be more stylish. All the graphics are already in the skins from the virtual keyboard for...

I don't like to see those visualizations used from wmp. In myMusic you can turn them off by using the DirectShow audio renderer. But in MyRadio (with streams) I didn't find a way to turn the vis off. Please insert a button in myMusic and myRadio to turn the vis off.

I didn't think of the internal radio of the PVR 350, sorry. I know that for the radio streams wmp is used. And that's why there are visualizations. I will post a feature request for turning them off.

MP1 MP2 auto update DE
I also like to see it working again. From what I found out searching the forum a separate release has to be build for it to work. As there is much work to do in implementing new features no one has the time for this I think.

Cybermurder You can do it already through the Radio module. And yes you can do streaming video through this also. It's not logical but this is the interface used for streaming at the moment. Have a look at the manual / wiki and there are some streaming links in the forum also. Enjoy :-) DMAN.
