You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
I'm wondering if this has been more developed with the new release of 0.2? I'm getting used to MP still so I want to make sure I setup recording a season of shows correctly. I have no need to record old episodes if I've already watched them so I am hoping this can be implemented still.

Does MP have any way of handling "rerun" episodes from the guide? eg. identifies show as rerun and will not record. Looking for...

I too have this dilema. When building my new HTPC I origianally was looking into the cases with the 7" touch screen, I thought it would be cool. But then I ran across the case with the 12" screen and it made me think, how much more useful the bigger screen would be. Then I had a ligh bulb moment and though, why does the touchscreen...

big thx cybrmage for your plugin. I have tried it and it works very well. Only the representation could be a little fine-tuning.

Still listed as a bug in mantis so I dont think there is a way yet. I find its only a problem using WMP10 visualisations, if I use those really basic 'Battery' ones then it runs quite good. Kinda slow to enter or exit fullscreen when they're running though.

Getting remote keypress to disable screensaver How about getting the remote keypress to disable screensaver. Scenario is that main MP screen is on, and you walk away. Come back 2 hours later and SS is on - great that how it should be. Now press a key on the remote and SS should go away back to MP. That is not happening now.l Arnon

I gave it a try! These are the facts: I installed Ac3filter, Xvid, divx, MPEG2 codec and the following Haali Matroska Media Splitter: http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe !

'add an entry' to which context menu? I don't see a context menu in the my music screens... I would rather not add a party shuffle button on all the my music screens. Using this method, you would need a label on the playlist screen to indicate which folder is being shuffled at the moment - and this brings me back to the space issue...

Thanks Ron The examples certainly help my understanding of the problem. The information - name and channel number - that you see TV Server grabbing is all that we have available, so at least on that side we can't do any better. I think SchedulesDirect attempts to match on the channel number or callsign, hence it usually has a better...

Question? Would it be good enough, at least for now, to have something like Windows MCE does?

Sorry, but there is no direct benefit for the E30 DVB-T/T2 or DVB-C tuners. As I mentioned previously, the interface for the smartcard slot is very low level - my understanding is that we would have to develop something like an MD filter in order to add support for it. I don't have the time, information or intention to do that. The...
