MP1 MP2 A fiew request DE
For your actual requests, most of these are already included if you have an MCE mouse. For example, the green button will always take you to the home screen, there is a Back button. I'm pretty sure the play button wokrs as a play button when fast forwarding in the latest MP releases. For number 2, Do you mean to speed up the...

MP1 MP2 A few ideas DE
That's exactly right mbuzina. I meant a feature that would show the picture that you see on the home-screen and such, in external programs like CDisplay, and whatever other programs I use, even when I minimize MP and start working. Much like an "always on top" thing, but just for the currently playing media, and shows when MediaPortal...

MP1 MP2 a couple things DE
It's true, I don't read much of the documentation. I am lazy and things should be self-evident. In this perspective, if I may, I'll contribute some thoughts. Sorry if some of this has already been discussed. I think that as a general rule the menus should be limited to what is really necessary, or somehow aggregated to make the top...

this looks terrific!! Very minimalistic, very high contrast. What is the largest font size you have seen used for the menus on this skin (if I decide to change the font sizes)? I want to get something large for those folks that are getting older, and have a hard time reading. Need something for a 60 year old great grandmother who...

Someone should create a better skin that is readable from 20 feet away on a standard 20 inch television.

This could be a good improvement, too. But I think rather that the different areas or plugins in MediaPortal could communicate better. For example, the plug-and Trakt.tv MpTVSeries. This should be linked to all relevant Breiche MediaPortal. - If I have selected in the EPG an episode of a series, it should be possible to have...

I have used MP for 5 months, three of which involved a fairly high level of experimentation and learning. The HTPC is now very stable and easily usable by the wife.

In the case of our US provider Dish Network they are using them for foreign TV services, US HDTV and 'others' such as college/university extention programs, etc. A lot of these, especially foreign TV services, are aleady in the first 1000 but maybe they are gradually migrating to 4 digits or something.

Nothing big but a lot of peoples cable boxes have channels with 4 digits now. It would be nice if mp could change to those channels.

Hi, It would be enough to have an manual override on the systems determination of scramble/not scrambled. In that way, you could mark your pay-tv as not scrambled and then delete all scrambled. Eppo

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.

I agree that both ideas would great. As far as Diskspace left goes, a simple 40gig free of 200gii although you could always have a popup or something added to the rightclick menu that shows something like: approx: 1 hour at HD 2 hours at SD 4 hours at DivX/Mp4 Just my two cents worth...

Well If you edit the xml files you can choose where to display what information. There is a small how-to on the wiki page of this plugin. That's what VFD-Displays are good for ;) E.g. LCDSmartie draws a nice bar showing CPU Usage. This is not MP running at 99% cpu but Windows / NTFS's io-system stalling.. I think it would be hard...

The best way to do this is to simply use Power Scheduler, which is built in to the system. When you schedule the recording then leave the system at the "home" screen. After the recording has finished MP will shut down/Hibernate or whatever you specify. It can then turn on again to make the next recording (unless you choose shut...
