MP1 MP2 Parental control DE
Feature request: Parental code for recorded TV. Just as for movies, I would like to define when setting up a recording from TV if the recorded file should have parental control. And then; less important, parental control independent of the folder where the movie is stored. VdR

When you switch view in My Music, MP ignores any folder.jpg for albums except for the tracks themselves. I have my view set to artists, and I'd expect the artists folders to be default, but inside the albums should use folder.jpg, just as normal folders do when you aren't using custom views. Nothing major though. Can't wait for...

I'd like to integrate a sensor reading page for my home sensors. The current GUI elements are not very helpful.. Maybe there is a general demand for a custom sized full graphic element... My proposal would be to generate a (GDI) window/label and pass a function/eventhandler as argument for the paint/invalidate event. So a plugin...

I searched but couldn't find this anywhere. I would very much like to be able to use external chapter lists for avi files like VLC or Zoom player. I know I can use comskip to add chapter support to avi files (even went so far as to write a program to rip DVD chapter data straight to comskip files) but that doesn't give chapter...

MP1 MP2 Channel Pincode DE
Pincode for channel(and/or -groups) required for TV3, it was available in TV2 (don't know if it was working, at least you could fill in the pincode for the channel-group), while scanning DVB-C/S (and linkage scanning maybe) unwanted channel will be available not for childrens eyes.

Hi all! I use to watch simpsons episodes, avi files from a DVD storage disc. Some times when I start up MP and browse to the CD / DVD "folder" it's empty despite the dvd is in the rack! The solution for this is to eject and insert the disc again. But to the improvement suggestion: I want MP to be able to both eject AND INSERT...

I am not asking so much about creating a Mediaportal lite in which to install on client PCs (after all it can all be handled with shared folders and Tvclinet for recordings.. I am thinking of something else. I notice that people ask about front ends for mediaportal.. the app itself is pretty slim so I can see a lite version not...

Read about this on mythtv, and seems interesting. Shouldn't be impossible for the great people on this project to make it a feature in MediaPortal? :D From mythtv: " -"Timestretch". Though, it's really 'time-compression'. This allows the user to adjust the playback speed slightly, but keeps the audio at the same pitch. If you're...

Hello, it would be great if we could quickly find the best and most functional SVN on its download page, regarding the users/testers feedback with the help of a vote feature. I know that SVNs are for testers, but sometimes appears a very good snapshot that could solve RC issues without adding other problems !

MP1 MP2 Support for usals-rotor (1 Viewer) DE
Are there any intentions on supporting usals-enabled rotors for dvb-s? Looking at the sourcecode, it should be fairly easy to implement diseqc rotor-commands (especially for the SS2 with available modified driver). If not, could (one of) the developer(s) point me to the routines for tuning into a channel in the sourcecodes?

I would like a feature to save the aspect ratio for the channel, as some of my channels are in 4:3 and others are 16:9 only channels. Switching forth and back is not as easy as on a normal TV, because they typically have a button on the remote for this.

I would love to have the ability to align text vertically on buttons menus and listcontrols. Why? Because right now if you change font sizes in a skin you have to change the textYOff position in every case for each font size if you want it to be readable and look good. If text could be vertically centered on buttons, menus and...

MP1 MP2 Unicode support DE
Is there a chance Media Portal will truely support Unicode one day? Currently it only displays the characters, but ignores the writing direction which is used in Hebrew, Arbic, and far east. Most of the people of the world do not write from left to right! Far east, Arab countries, Israel... The problem is not the interface, we can...

I have different networks on my system, I would like to have a ability to use different TVServices on the same machine using different IP addresses, like have one listening on the wired NIC and one listening on the wireless NIC, but pointing to the same database. Would that possible? :thx: Regards Joe

I like the fact that you can restart or shutdown MP from the home screen. However, if the computer is networked and others are attached to it, then you get a pop-up window asking if you're sure you want to shut down. This is a bit annoying as I have to get my keyboard out to say "Yes". It would be nice if there was an option to do a...

Today, mediaportal can connect to a FTP folder and cache the file there. This works pretty good, except for the following: - Must confirm download - Must wait until file is finished downloading - Cannot "auto-download" files (must create script yourself). Today I use "Offline files" (CSC) in Windows for this. I have all my...

Hey guys i had a idea, actually two ideas for plugins with mediaportal. One is, having a plugin that controls your sound card. Different sound cards have a lot of options on them. If you could make a plugin that uses the sound card through mediaportal. Then you can use your HTPC as your surround sound receive, and manage all your...

I've been using MP for a total of a week so maybe I overlooked something. I have two possible feature requests. 1) In TV Guide, the left and right arrows seem to control date and the up and down arrows control the time which is cool. However, I have more than one page of channel listings (as I am sure most do) but I can't figure...

When you have a lot of movies in myVideos it takes ages to re-scan them (even if they are already in your database) if a lot of them are .iso or .img as mediaportal mounts each one. So to add just one more movie can take 20 mins! Can we have an option in the config to tick to say 'do not mount images when scanning' then it will...

i think that is would be better when the search function begins to search when i press enter after an input of characters. i have a VERY large music archive on an fast harddisk (>10000 titles). but when i press the first char to search for, it takes a long time before i can press the next char (more than 10 sec.).

MP1 MP2 My Pictures OSD DE
Hi - would it be possible to have an OSD while viewing pictures to show some user selected EXIF data such as the date the picture was taken? And to toggle the OSD on/off with a single keypress on the remote. I know you can get this from info/properties, but an OSD would be great. Especially during a slideshow. Mediaportal is a...
