You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
When ordering a recording it should be possible to select a priority from e.g. five alternatives: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest. This can be done by another selector on the recording menu, which always starts at priority "normal". From one of the TV Server configurations menus it seem as the data is already in the database...

I love MP mostly because of all the cool community additions. These additions make MP capable of more than the competition. To be honest... without the community additions I would probably have installed XBMC. :sorry: The community additions do have one major drawback: they're not always as stable as they should and could be...

In the "Recorded TV" screen, it would be really nice to have either color coded recordings based upon whether or not they are MPEG files, WMV files, DIVX files, etc. Either that, or have the screen divided into sections based upon file types.

Not sure if I missed this somewhere or not, but many of my movies load up with Dolby Digital (5.1) and Subtitles enabled. It would be a great feature to have that would allow us to choose a "Preferred" audio format such as DTS or THX if they're available on the disk (or disk image, I have a lot of my movies in ISO format on another...

It would be useful if MP supported a simple set of operations via TCP/IP, like - <Request Text="TV, Channel Four"/> <Request Text="Radio, BBC World"/> <Request Text="Key, Up"/> There are some attempts (self included) that try this - but I've never managed to get a 100% certain working method. Basically this would...

Hi all, recently I tested a Kathrein receiver, it has an option in setup to use the 2 receivers with one LNB cable via it's loop through connectors. This option ensures for the second card only Transponders in the same band and polarization as the first card uses are selectable for recording. I think, it would not be a big...

I'd like to be added a tag, in Recotding -> Custom path and filenames, to use other fields from EPG Data. For Example: in EPG I have a tag called <date> with the production year of a movie. To write a file with the year of production could use a format like: %title%[ (%epgdate%)]

I already understand that supporting the streaming of tuner cards would take quite a bit of development so I have an alternative feature that would suite at least my needs for a client/server system. Would it be possible to have the 'recording schedule' control a remote computer's tuners and not the current computer's tuners...

Hi, I could really use a telnet type control server for MP. Something like MPBlue, but with a generic text based server with a configurable port. Anyone has done any work on this, or is planning to? Cheers, Jens

I hope this is neither a duplicate nor an already implemented feature. I've been searching for it in the forum but nothing sounded like it.

I am new to Media Portal, so I may have missed some of the available features, but I would like to be able to nest an existing playlist within a new playlist. The reason for this is that I have a large classical music collection, where an entire piece is on multiple tracks, and random play is not useful. What I want to do is, for...

I'd love to be able to make custom folder icons in PNG format instead of only JPG files. This would allow us to use the alpha transparent graphics on top of the default folder icons from the skin.

I know your concentrating on porting and perfecting existing functions for the near future, but I thought I would toss this out for later.
