You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
I have 2 systems running Mediaportal. Do I need to update both of them or I can just copy some file from one to another ? BTW I am impressed with the progress of MEDIAPORTAL has made during the last 2 months. Mediaportal is probably the best all-around Frontend/PVR/Mediacenter. If only I could have timeshifting with soffware...

I think some sort of progressbar will be needed for the auto-update. The update took quite some time so that I nearly broke off...

I think the major problem to build something like this is that there is not one single resource where you can pull the informtaion. For each site that offers you traffic information for your local area there would be a different structure. That would be really tricky to solve. I am not saying it's a bad idea but my first reaction was...

MP1 MP2 My Receipes - return to sublist! (1 Viewer) DE
After selecting a category, and then selecting a particular receipe, the receipe is displayed. The backbutton takes you back to the category screen. Could it be designed to move back to the last categorized list of receipes, that you were on before selecting the receipe you had just looked at? A user may be searching for a particular...

Yes, well I am not talking about an indepth setup guide or anything but rather explaining the view and what shortcuts are avaible. As an example, how many times have you told people to press Y when they want to have the OSD on screen? There are probably three times as many who will never ask, they just install the program and use the...

I think that's a great idea! I for one would love to see some kind of support for PicaJet. I seldom use "My Pictures" because my digital pictures are in a terrible mess when it comes to folder placement so the only way I can find what I want is using the keywords in PicaJet. Anyway, support for whatever photo organization software...

Yes, such thing would be very nice. the morgan stream switcher filter seems to be a good starting point. it should be able to enumerate the different audio streams and to choose one to be played back.

I think it would be nice if Media Portal would save where you left off at if you exit out of Media Portal. This would be the exact point in the song where you closed it or, if you are in pictures mode, the exact last picture.

Hello, i'm using the tool tvm2xml.exe to convert tvguide data from an (tvmovie.de)access database into xmltv format.
