totally forgot all about this post. I no longer use wireless connection to htpc - instead I've installed a 20 metre cable and running a 1gb network but even so the cache options would still be a nice feature (the xbmc for windows has them ported across as well) I must be honest, I'm now mainly running vista media centre as...

Maybe a dimmed screen with the random art just mentioned, and when media is playing, a video or music overlay that slowly moves about the screen (bouncing off edges?) with fanart in background. Activated by timeout (inactivity) and also button on screen or OSD option. Option to use dimmed or black background. And not lose settings...

I know there are a few apps about that can launce external EXEs but can any open the app inside MP, For example an inset window in the GUI a bit like the TV viewer when looking through the EPG but a bit bigger?

I should start by saying that I manage a few HTPCs. And if it was only about a singly HTPC in the livingroom I'd be managing I would not try something else. My systems are relatively complex but need to be used by simple folk. (1 remote, TV, fileserver, a/v receiver) I do not have access to these systems all the time. That's...

Hi, I am using now MP since a while and in general the tool is getting better and better. What I do not really like is how MP handles the scrolling through a video.

This has come up before, and I've commented on this before :) It would be too much work to change MP1 to do this, but I believe it has at least been considered for MP2. There was a sugestion that virtually everything could be made client/server aware and only if you explicitly set it locally would that overide the server setting.

I love the Video Background toggle. It is currently available on the MyHome screen when you use the Fullscreen Video button.

I find it odd that one would want seperate recording and timeshifting paths for each individual card. I would think that mediaportal installer or first time run of tv server config would prompt you for directory for all recordings / timeshifting and then later you could change it manually.
