MP1 MP2 MP as Media Server DE
First, I'd like to say, WOW! Beautiful job with this app!! I've been trolling around the forums and there have been a few posts concerning using Extenders with MP or using MP as a media server. I'm planning on building a MP box in the basement and using it to run my 42" monitor in my living room. So far, so good. I'd also...

I have an ATSC HDTV card and it would be nice to be able to use it in MP. I have no knowledge of code but would be happy to allow a dev to VNC into my HTPC. It seems like it is almost working..I can tune one channel...but I can't change channels or bring up any menus. I'ved tried 0,1,3 pre through 0.2 RC1. :cry:

Check "Use shell execution" or something similar, then you do not have to specify the .exe file. Click the questionmark right of the foldername and .pdf will pop up automagically in the extensions-list.

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 ! Then audio and subtitle switching works with avi and mkv files. Just press "i" on the MCE remote and select the very right button with the speaker...

MP1 MP2 Smaller Dialogs (1 Viewer) DE
I will give that a try. Thanks for the info. It should help with configuring via VNC at the very least. I'll just have to remember not to have the TV on when I do it ;-)

Great! I was playing with 0.1.3.0 because I wanted to wait for the final version of 0.2, but now I might have to try out the beta. In looking through the forum for information about the first run/rerun feature I saw some posts mentioning not knowing how to determine if an episode is a rerun or not. I'm not sure if you guys knew...

I had an idea from using Desktop Sidebar, which has a plugin for "capturing" the windows of other applications and integrating them into it's own window. This would allow alot of other features, such as capturing Acrobat reader, IM programs, etc. DS is a .NET app too, so I'm not sure how easy it would be.

- It would be great if MP would be able to copy Pictures from a Camera to the HD just as the windows camera assistant (or something..) does. Connect a camera (or device containing pics), say: Please Copy to Share, select which pics, the target folder and file name and MP copies. Could probably be a plugin. - I do get prints of a...

Hello, First and foremost MP is great I have really enjoyed having it for my projector. To the point. I would really like to use Guide Plus with MP instead of XMLTV is there any way of getting the two to work together? If not can someone build a plugin for the two to be used together?

I'd love to be able to make custom folder icons in PNG format instead of only JPG files. This would allow us to use the alpha transparent graphics on top of the default folder icons from the skin. Say for instance I have my music sorted alphabetically (named A, B, C, etc) into folders. So the folder "A" would have a file...

MP1 MP2 Nested Playlists (1 Viewer) DE
I am new to Media Portal, so I may have missed some of the available features, but I would like to be able to nest an existing playlist within a new playlist. The reason for this is that I have a large classical music collection, where an entire piece is on multiple tracks, and random play is not useful. What I want to do is, for...

Yeah sure it would take some effort to tag a movie after watching it and not everone would use it, but I still think it would be a good feature to be able to track who has seen what movies. My movie server contains about 500 DVDs and even though I remember which of them I've seen the rest of my family doesn't. I can also see a use...

Not sure if I missed this somewhere or not, but many of my movies load up with Dolby Digital (5.1) and Subtitles enabled. It would be a great feature to have that would allow us to choose a "Preferred" audio format such as DTS or THX if they're available on the disk (or disk image, I have a lot of my movies in ISO format on another...

MP1 MP2 AUtomatic thumbnails in MyPictures (3 Viewers) DE
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...

Wouldn't it be great if the radio tracked the amount of time listened to each channel and then sorted the stations by most listened to and perhaps even showed the amount of time listened?

MP1 MP2 NFL Scores update? DE
This could take a little bit of work. Would need to take the RSS feed (from which XML feed? ESPN, Yahoo, Foxsports, etc) and parse the data to capture the specifics (score, down, play, yardline, etc.), not only that would need to have a configuration as to allow display of specific teams or all teams? Because once it would start then...
