Which version of MP are you running? In 0.2.2 (the latest stable) I don't seem to have this trouble. For example, if I record two shows back-to-back on the same channel, it re-sends the channel, even though it doesn't need to. I use a Dish Network STB, and every time it sends the channel I can see the Dish current program header...

MP1 MP2 "Jump to" feature DE
It would be nice to implement a feature that allows the user to jump to a specific letter (or phrase) based on keyboard input (like in iTunes). There isn't a plugin that already accomplishes this, is there?

XMLTV has the ability to associate channel icons with a specific channel. Currently TVe3 doesnt use this information, but rather each MP client needs to have the icons placed locally. Suggestion: Add a field to dbo.Channels of ChannelIcon and populate this from the XMLTV file when processed with the image location (either...

MP1 MP2 Picture in Picture? DE
You should have searched for PIP The idea has been raised many times. No-one is strictly against it, it's just that none of the developers have taken it on. The effort required to add this feature to the existing software would be very large, and probably out-weighs the benefit. As I said, do a search for PIP and you'll find...

I tried setting client up but it wouldnt see my tv cards. I like the self contained MP myself- for a non server htpc anyway. If I was using a server I would "battle on" with client but I wont be doing that. Seriously sat control in the standalone product would be great.

Hi everyone, I'd just like to say that MediaPortal seems to be the answer to my jukebox interface quest, however I strongly agree that MP should be able to run (certain tasks) without disturbing Windows (yes, I know: what am I thinking?)

MP1 MP2 Radio recording DE
This isn't the same old wish-list "I wanna record radio", 'cos I've just discovered I can (I wasn't sure quite where to post this). My discovery was an accident, as I suspect the feature is too, but it works. Searching the TV guide for programmes to record I noticed that it includes programmes from the radio EPG, presumably thanks...

Instead of Picasa (a feature request for your problem is already in the database), you can use various other tools like e.g. IrfanView. They are supporting a lot of batch renaming features.

In the weather screen you can click on the "4 day forecast" button and that will give you more details for each day. Still not a full text descrition but easily meets my needs. I've never heard of a more detailed description but I guess that if you found a good RSS feed then you could set it up in "MyNews".
