I upgraded to version 0.0.0.11 and now it works. But it is not quite the same as I suggest, but very close. I would like all the channels in one listing, not one for each channel, would that be possible in some way? Cheers, Kenneth

Gabbe: this is exactly what I meant. I think you are right that the setup is the correct place for this! Beside this, an autogenerate is of course also very nice when the Thumbnails are not there yet (newly added pictures). This way you don't have to generate again yourself (assuming that the generate is clever and doesn't generate...

Hi Forbes, I have a similar setup i.e. TFT w 1024 res and TV/Projector with S-Video. and an ATI 9600 (not AIW). I have set the ATI Catalyst driver to "Theater" mode in the "overlay" section and this gives the following: when there is no overlay i.e. video playing I get a clone of the TFT running @ 1024x768. As soon as there...

Maybe click once for 30 mins, hit again for 1 hours, hit again for 2 hours and again for 3 or 4 hours (to cover longer movies). Or every time you click it, it adds an extra 30 mins up to 4 hours worth.

- It would be great to have the TV Channels listed below eachother, making switching and selecting a channel easier, instead of going through them one-by-one. - It would be excellent to incorporate more TV size options. Currently it's either 1/4th of the screen or full screen. As I use a beamer, full screen stretches the TV...

I know this can be done 'manually', but it would be fantastic as to have built-in automated thumbnails for the entries in My Videos. Ideally, it would be animated thumbnails, showing the first, the middle and the last frame of the specific video in sequence. Currently, it's really hard to distinguish the one from the other...
