I agree, the ZAP OSD is on the right lines but having it timeout and switch automatically is a pain. I have to set a long timeout just so i can read it and then when i do want it to change it means I have to wait ages. Much better just to press 'OK' or 'Enter' - or at least give the option to do this.

A feature that BeyondTV and GB-PVR have that would make Mediaportal kick major arse. Bascially what it does is when you're...

Are there any intentions on supporting usals-enabled rotors for dvb-s? Looking at the sourcecode, it should be fairly easy to implement diseqc rotor-commands (especially for the SS2 with available modified driver). If not, could (one of) the developer(s) point me to the routines for tuning into a channel in the sourcecodes?

Of course you can, but the user experience would increase if MP does it automatic
Of course you can, but the user experience would increase if MP does it automatic
I would like to see a optional feature to let the system automaticly rewind the played movie by 5 seconds when you unpause it.

Hi all, One thing that gets to me more and more lately is that I can't go back in time in the TV guide. Even though my TV guide XML file contains entries in the past, the TV guide browser refuses to show them. This may not seem important at first glance, but it actually is. The TV guide source I use in the Netherlands only provides...

MP1 MP2 My Weather DE
We hear you... this kind of thing may well be addressed in later releases. You're right, I ignored it - was very tired at the time and right now I'm busy as hell so I'm going to have to be rude and ignore it again :(. Cheers, Smirnoff.

In the "Recorded TV" screen, it would be really nice to have either color coded recordings based upon whether or not they are MPEG files, WMV files, DIVX files, etc. Either that, or have the screen divided into sections based upon file types.

I've started to look at xlobby since MP doesn't have multi-room audio support. But it seems like there the work is is faster since it is open source.

MP1 MP2 Music Database DE
Hi, first off - Media Portal really rocks. I was looking at many Media Center software solutions these days, but Media Portal is the one I'm gonna stay with. For the Music Database there is (in my opinion) quite some room for improvement though. Have you guys ever seen amaroK (http://amaroK.kde.org)? It's another OSS project...

MP1 MP2 Modified XBOX DVD remote support. (1 Viewer) DE
This is a bit of an update: I kinda got it to work a bit. The program that come with the driver can be set up so that the buttons can work like hitting a key on the keyboard. In essence MP is thinking that I am using the keyboard. This whole thing is not perfect and I have no idea what I should do with the "title" button on the...

Yes! Great feature request, I totally agree. I too have an iMon remote without a record button, but I'll sort that out. But for those of us lacking the record button, maybe a Record option could be placed in the Info menu, leading to the Record menu? That's just a thought, if it's not out of place there.

As most of you are aware you can get the alternative tv-tuner drivers called Btwincap http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/ and the opensource based K!TV http://www.kastortv.org/ Both of them have reportedly been compiled for WinXP x64. I have yet to get my hands on the precompiled version of Btwincap but K!TV can be found on...
