MP1 MP2 Internet Radio DE
you looked in the tips&trick section?? Shoutcast is not optimally programmed yet, but .asx streams should do fine.

Same here: Bumping is a very bad habit. Users get warned if they start bumping threads for no further purpose. If they do not react, they have to be removed from the forums. "Bumps" get deleted here on the forums. I leave this one (and another one) for history reasons now.

Getting remote keypress to disable screensaver How about getting the remote keypress to disable screensaver. Scenario is that main MP screen is on, and you walk away. Come back 2 hours later and SS is on - great that how it should be. Now press a key on the remote and SS should go away back to MP. That is not happening now.l Arnon

I only have dialup connection which isn't always connected so what I would like is that if the weather update fails then it show the last update that worked. This would probably require that the weather for each city is stored in a seperate file. Thanks.

In the manual of the tv it says: If you watch a static image for 1 hour, you need to...

VNC works well for this (well for iPaq's and similar at least) unless you are running XP SP2 with Fast User Switching. By the time the patch is official I bet one of the VNC packagers will have worked around that.

you do not have to use it, you can allready use an external player. Or set the internal player to DirectSHow, then you do not need wmp9 but you will not see any visualisations.
