With your remote you can text-message the name of the movie you're looking for. eg If you want all movies starting with "D", press number 2 (or 3?) on your remote.

Well, I guess in terms of amount of work, it will only require changes to the configuration app, not to the MediaPortal app itself, so there is definitely no reason why it could not be implemented in MP1. If I knew what I was doing, I'd have a go myself. For MP2, you could quite easily incorporate this sort of configuration into...

I agree, their should be a better way to recognize movies. A possible solution is adding a (hidden) file containing data like the name of the movie, the year, and the director. I excpect these 3 properties will always be unique. (I wouldn't use an ID because this could get mixed up with other movies when migrating a folder from one...

Improving and making things simpler are two different things. But I wasn't saying that anything should be removed, disabled or changed in default installation. I just want easy way to get rid of plugins and components during the installation process that I don't need. BTW, many programs (MS Office for example) have a possibility to...

Hi, This is quite a specialised feature. I can see that parents might want to know what their kids are watching, but you can put pin protection on shares, so there is already the option to protect kids from any content you aren't happy with. Mark

I like this too. I always use the same recording and Timeshift folder for all cards (I can't think of a reason why I wouldn't), so having this as an option would be a good idea.

It would be nice if I could configure stack matching how I wanted. It could be something advanced like a regex, or something simple. It is rather annoying to have to stick to MP's naming convention, when I already have my own.

Hi, I was thinking about a audio-only instance of MP. Pass an argument, say "audioonly" to the main program and load just the nessecary for playing (net-shared) audio. This way i could run a lightweigth instance of MP, when i only want to listen audio. My changes in DB, playlists etc will be remembered and usable in normal MP...

I agree, I think this is great suggestion. It would also be good if the crossfade worked by default on audioscrobbler as well as track skipping as I think it sounds good with a mix of tracks but not with album tracks.

I also found scheduling weekly recordings was gone and could not find how to do it.
