Another solution is to create a database collection with specific software like ANT Movie Catalog or DVDProfiler. ANT is a free software and brings many scripts for importing datas for yours movies (DVD, divx...) and you can use the XML database directly in MP with MyFilms plugin....

I was searching here in the forum and couldn't find something if there is a repeat function for a playlist/song in the myMusic section. If it shouldn't exist it would be nice to implement it.

I'm not familiar with Pinnacle remote. I use an iMon RSC, and the mute button is mapped to the Windows System Volume "Mute" command, so it mutes/unmutes all Windows sounds. Is that something you can map with the Pinnacle remote?

I know this sounds silly but please hear me out. I have recently tried to implement Sky EPG into the TSWriter and ran into a major problem. Due to the shear volume of Channels (595) grabbing 8 days worth consumes too much memory due to the allocation of memory within C++. My idea, Take the EPG out of the TSWriter and move it to...

MP1 MP2 A Smarter TV Guide DE
One of the real things i kind of missed compared to my STB is the fact that it has a logical TV guide in a sense of time. For example, when its between 3:56 and 3:59, it will show me by default, the shows that are on at 4:00, not 3:30. It knows that I really don't care whats on for the next 2 minutes at 3:30 and automatically...

Yeah because rewriting all the Windows dependant code to run on Linux would be a really good use of time and energy. :D I think there is enough work for the developers at the moment without someone taking on the challenge of integrating native codecs (even if they are taken from another application) and then maintaining that...

yeh I guess maximizing it as a window is basically it. But it would be good to have it start up like that, of course removing the minimize/close bar bit up the top would be preferred too. Having it pop up when hovering down the bottom is a great idea too.

I like to see support for shoutcast streams wich are coded in AAC-plus. This codec plays streams in cd-quality at 40 kbps and has the capabilty of playing 5.1 surround sound. when I play it in winamp it plays fine, but when I try to play it in MP it doesn't play. The URL of the stream is: http://64.62.133.50:8004 I also tried...

Yes in time that would be nice as well, but there's been quite a few occasions where I've just wanted to change things like the pre-record time for an already scheduled programme and always have to go into the actual database to change it which is obviously time consuming.

Hey All, One of the most useful features I had with my Hard Drive Recorder unit which I miss was the ability to edit videos while watching it. Example, I would play back a recorded show and while skimming through it I can mark segments of the video to cut out. This was useful for editing out ads and also because you started the...

uFreedb was written in VB6 and released under the GPL. I'm pretty sure it supported CDText (and, if not, the author - Jon Zahornacky - sent me some code to use, which I may still have). It might be possible to convert it to VB.net. I'd suggest it may at least be worthwhile finding a copy of the uFreedb source and having a look at it...

I think an exellent feature to ad to MediaPortal would be the ablity to read edit dscision lists created by comskip, similar to the way MPlayer does. This would mean that to watch recorded TV sans ads would not require creating a new file (hence taking up less hard drive space) and saves a lot of time also.

Like a "free text search". Is this possible? Nice if you plan to rent a movie or go to the cinema... or when somthing turns up on the TV (search EPG-result in IMDB?). Poor language, I know... but bear with me, and I think you know where I'm heading. Thanks

This is something I would like to see as well. To be more precise: 1. Pictures seem to be automatically reduced to fit the screen, but (sometimes) get distorted if the picture's aspect ratio does not match the screen's. (This doesn't always happen, but I don't find any rhyme or reason to it.) I would like an option to respect the...

MP1 MP2 AC3 and DVB DE
Hi all, would like to have possibility of chosing an AC3 stream from a DVB mux. Now MP (at least for DVB-T) only uses the MPEG audio pin from the demuxer. Scanning and finding the AC3 stream is no problem, I have tested by adding just a few lines of code. Adding a AC3 pin type pin to the demuxer I don't know where to do in MP...
