I think it would be nice if Media Portal would save where you left off at if you exit out of Media Portal. This would be the exact point in the song where you closed it or, if you are in pictures mode, the exact last picture.

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 think that's a great idea! I for one would love to see some kind of support for PicaJet. I seldom use "My Pictures" because my digital pictures are in a terrible mess when it comes to folder placement so the only way I can find what I want is using the keywords in PicaJet. Anyway, support for whatever photo organization software...

After selecting a category, and then selecting a particular receipe, the receipe is displayed. The backbutton takes you back to the category screen.

I think the major problem to build something like this is that there is not one single resource where you can pull the informtaion. For each site that offers you traffic information for your local area there would be a different structure. That would be really tricky to solve. I am not saying it's a bad idea but my first reaction was...

If only I could have timeshifting with soffware...

And another sketch that can give inspiration for future enhancements Best if the categories could be configurable to the users taste/priority. Best if the "prime time" like 20:15 would be configurable because this is different in different countries. tomtom21000 the sketch is from a sceneo user (marzog)

It would be nice if the internal video player had a smoother fast forward / rewind capability. By this I mean if you fast forward / rewind now it only seems to show the key frames of the file which makes it difficult to accurately get to a certain position in the video file. In addition if you are fast forwarding a file you cannot...

Ok kewl I have adjusted it to my likeing. I did not think it would be so easy. Thanks! It would be good if there were some true 16x9 skins though. XBMC skins have many variants... i.e. NTSC, NTSC16x9, PAL, PAL16x9, 720p, 1080i I suppose when you're dealing with one graphics chipset things are alot easier. It would be good...

Crickey I must have been drunk! Ok I'll try again. If you have an album of MP3's in a folder and you press F3 to get the CD information and track details etc MP also pulls down the CD cover image.
