Here's my suggestions/wish list for things to add to MP after 0.1 is released. Sorry if any of these have been mentioned before, I'm new here. :roll: 1) TV card configuration setup I have tried out several HTPC apps with TV plugins and none of them have particularly "user friendly" to setup. There are just too many settings...

Hello, i'm using the tool tvm2xml.exe to convert tvguide data from an (tvmovie.de)access database into xmltv format. Unfortunately i cannot configure MP to call this executable once the F3 key is pressed to update all information. Is it possible to have the MP-programguide/-xmltv setup more flexible ? Thanks Chris

MP1 MP2 Playlist Icons DE
I know how to get icons to show up by setting up individual radio streams through the F2 control panel. It'd be nice if icons could be set-up similarly through saved playlists with corresponding icons saved in the thumbs directory. Thanks!

I have 2 systems running Mediaportal. Do I need to update both of them or I can just copy some file from one to another ? BTW I am impressed with the progress of MEDIAPORTAL has made during the last 2 months. Mediaportal is probably the best all-around Frontend/PVR/Mediacenter. If only I could have timeshifting with soffware...

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.

I'm also keen to have this functionality. And as soon as I can find the appropriate methods in the WMP object, I might just implement it. (I love open source!) Until then : "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:3 /RipAudioCD "%L" replace "%L" with your CD drive letter. Works in Windows media player...

Yes, well I am not talking about an indepth setup guide or anything but rather explaining the view and what shortcuts are avaible. As an example, how many times have you told people to press Y when they want to have the OSD on screen?

After selecting a category, and then selecting a particular receipe, the receipe is displayed. The backbutton takes you back to the category screen. Could it be designed to move back to the last categorized list of receipes, that you were on before selecting the receipe you had just looked at? A user may be searching for a particular...

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...

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...
