Don't take any offence, but can you please do a search for uPNP, and for the terms client/server, because I'm sure this has been discussed before. I think the general concensus is that the devs want to get MP working perfectly on one PC first, before turning it into a client/server solution, because doing so would take a while and...

MP1 MP2 Blanking of TV in my music mode (4 Viewers) DE
Why not maximize the visualisation to fullscreen then? That's quite true but you will also distract your guests if you fiddle every 30 seconds with your playlist ;-P

MP1 MP2 2 requestes - possibly as plugins (2 Viewers) DE
Well If you edit the xml files you can choose where to display what information. There is a small how-to on the wiki page of this plugin. That's what VFD-Displays are good for ;) E.g. LCDSmartie draws a nice bar showing CPU Usage. This is not MP running at 99% cpu but Windows / NTFS's io-system stalling.. I think it would be hard...

Maybe not for you but for many other people! Image you'd have 2 analog cards which have different recording/tuning quality - get the point? ;) Or with DVB e.g. my Skystar2 is much quicker on channel switches than BDA-driven cards - so I want it for Live-TV..

Is there going to be an option in the Configuration to disable getting EPG data from the DVB stream ? I'm not sure if it's just because this code isn't finished yet, but it seems to cause my TV to stutter, and even then it doesn't get all the information. At this rate I'd be happier downloading it over the Internet...

Your post and my search for it was my first time to see rainlendar. It is very visually appealing. It would be nice to have a small version (in the corner) and a large version (screen size to get to appointments). I wonder if we could get the author to make a Rainlendar plugin for MP. That would be too cool! But I still wish...

I am hoping as MP moves forward (more features) that the ability to modify each display screen becomes easier and easier for users.
