You have an idea how MediaPortal could be improved? Post it in here.
I would like a feature to save the aspect ratio for the channel, as some of my channels are in 4:3 and others are 16:9 only channels. Switching forth and back is not as easy as on a normal TV, because they typically have a button on the remote for this.

There are several remote control plugins in development. Search for MPBLUE for a Windows CE version. It is also available in the plugins download section. I'm writing a webbased remote control for music at this moment depending on the ECP2 plugin, which is also in development. It might take some time before it will be released...

It would be good, if it's possible to combine the ISDN-Caller-ID plugin and the YAC-Caller-ID plugin. So it would also be possible to get informations from isdn-calls over the network, you can edit contacts more comfortable with the adressbook from outlook and at least there will only be one plugin for all the telephone stuff. It...

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.

Is it possible to get MP to use different ffdshow profiles/setting for the different section (video,tv,dvd) ? You can switch ffdshow setting by importing register information from a file, but can MP somehow automate this ?

Hi, In the plugins for Music, Video, Pictures etc we always have a facade item which show a (often large) collection of items. Currently these are all loaded synchronously. It would be a much better user interaction if this load could be done asynchronously. You would be able to see the first page (depending on sort, so you have to...

Hi! Would it be possible to add global option for audio output selection?

I just heard about a new web service called MP3Tunes They say they have an Open API http://www.mp3tunes.com/api/. Wouldn't that be nice to store your MP3 files on the net and let MP play your music? A video about this can be found here: http://news.com.com/1606-2-6098952.html?tag=st.rb

Last night I was reprogramming my remote and discovered that there was a zoom option during the picture slideshow. Imagine my surprise and excitement.

Thanks for the excellent post scoop. For what it's worth, I think the MCE remote PLAY button should be mapped to ACTION_SELECT_ITEM for that window by default, because it is intuitive. But the real reason I'm posting is that I'm curious if there is a way to get around the OK, LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN, BACK, MUTE, TVPWR and STANDBY...

I would also love to see something like 1,2,3,4,5,10,15,30,45,60,90,120 for example. As zombiepig, I'm also a bit at a loss why there is a diffrence between 16 and 17 minutes for...

Yes, a lot of people probably do not have access to the internet from their HTPC, so they would really have trouble installing it then. If an installer that downloaded needed parts from the internet was provided then a full installer would also need to be available, I think.
