Hi folks, what about loading plugins and other features dynamically - I mean after starting the MP system base? Is that possible with the architecture of MP 1 or will be that available in MP 2? That would be a nice feature, because than MP will start lean (speed up also the boot time of MP) and only once a function/ plugin...

+1 It really makes skinning complicated that some plugins (or built-in plugins) only will show your #variablewhatever if it is a label and not a fadelabel. Then you need to figure out what the maxlenght of this unknown variable MIGHT be, and pad other elements out of its way.

MP1 MP2 Screenshot feature (1 Viewer) DE
We could just dump the DirectX video texture to the disk to allow such feature. But not at least with 1.1.0 release (as it is not the main use case for a HTPC application). Anyone volunteer to provide a patch? :)

Yes, you're right, my mistake. All your 'impressions' are correct! Thanks for clarifying that. Yup, and I cannot find a way to use that special layer for my own purposes! I think it is hard coded to specific window ids. Good for you, getting back on topic when I was wandering off! Yeah, and I'm sure not the creative...

I request that MP adds a list(database?) of users allowing for per user settings and data. I would imagine that alot of MP users would have family using MP. Problems arise tho with multiple users using the same mediaportal. I recommend that a list of users and thier details should be kept by mediaportal itself. This allows for...

Well, huh. I tried it again, trying it with both x32 FF and the step-forward button, and it went into Play mode both times. Maybe the previous time was just a glitch. I should have known more experimentation was in order! Good enough for me! :thx:

Bother I've just posted a new thread for a feature to only delete existing EPG data for channels that actually have data in an XMLTV import, which I think overlaps with this request. My system has this change (to 1.0.2) and it works really well allowing th use of XMLTV and off air EPG data side by side. Please feel free to merge my...

1. Time Jump is a wonderful feature in MediaPortal. For example, if you have a two-hour movie, you can jump to the middle of the movie by typing 0100 on your remote control. As of today typing 0100 only produces three digits on the screen: 01:0_ and the last digit works as Enter key as well and doesn't appear even for a second. There...
