Improvement Suggestions (237 Viewers)

You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
Thanks for the enthousiasm, you're the only one so far :) Since MediaPortal switched to client/server almost a year ago I think it could benefit from a more service-oriented approach, keep the clients really separate from the server. So that's why I'm proposing this route for the scheduling sub-system, it's a very good candidate...

This is a minor improvement suggestion, but in an attempt to make the interface more polish, I suggest the replacement of "object(s)" with "item(s)" from the on-screen vocabulary. For example, in "My Videos" text will be displayed on-screen saying "6 Objects". An "object" is a very computer/programmer oriented term and while I can...

As I use the TV server and have 3 clients connecting to it, it can obviously become a tedious task to keep each of them up to date. Maybe 1 way round this would be to have a network install? That way you would only ever to keep 1 install up to date, the only things I can think of that would potentially change between setups would be...

MP1 MP2 Storage of Data DE
I wondered if there could be a move to change MP to store it's data where it belongs. I just checked my Vista C: drive and found out that MP had stored 170 MB in the Virtual Store. So every change to the TeamMedia Portal Program folder outside of the Installer (optionally the config) is stored as a duplicate. The new Vista...

I would love to see this feature in MP also. I use TheaterTek to play DVD with excellent quality, but when it comes to playing MKV files, I would like to use the WMP or the internal player. Having this function is MP will allow us to "get by" until the internal player is refined to support everything under the sun.

I'll admit, it's not something I really use a lot, but for certain easter eggs, you need to press a series of numeric buttons on the remote. Terminator 2 is one such disc. I use a Streamzap remote, which has the keys, but the internal player doesn't support them. I'm currently using a trial version of PowerDVD for DVD playback...

Votes++; That would be very nice! And i think, this could be done very easy and clean: The TV-Notifier plugin already has the feature, to remind you when an afore selected show begins.

MP1 MP2 Open/Close DVD Tray DE
You need to use a utility to map the "open close utility in the downloads" to a remote button or to a keyboard keystroke. You could use "MCE Replacement driver", "IR Server suite" (both available in these forums, use Search) or an external application like HIP or Girder. You could also use AutoIT (www.autoitscript.com/autoit3) to...

Nice feature. Though I think I've worked out my WebEPG issues, this would be a neat /useful feature. As my DVD-R does, each successive press of the 'Record" button, adds 10 mins to the current value (possibly customizable for increments in the TV Server Setup app).

My knowledge about codecs and graphs is also limited so forgive me if I don't understand this right. The above suggestion seems resonable, however I am not sure if this will solve the problem of audio/video out of sync.
