General talk regarding our HTPC-software MediaPortal 1 takes place here.
Just realized that this is just a "brainstorming" thread without any concept or concrete wishes or background knowledge. It's nice to see every sort of input here - maybe someone puts this together in a specification usable for programming.

Yeah.. I got it working. It's small program that check if new .torrent files have appeared in special folder. If the files are found, it will start the utorrent and after there are no .torrent files any more, it will kill the utorrent process. Now I put the utorrent to power scheduler exception list.

Depends on your hardware and settings. Remember that 576p video on a 60" 1080p screen is going to look a little blocky.

The Home Easy range has one other drawback; there is no PC interface - you need to buy an additional RF transmitter from RFXCom and use with Homeseer and RFXCom Homeseer plugin which adds a significant amount to the price.

When an objects folder (Movies for instance) contains a sub-folder, it would be nice if during the scan, MP would create a temporary folder.jpg for it, if nothing else then containing the name of the folder (white text on a black background, maybe).

Could someone please send me a copy of the files in their plugins folder? I installed 1.0.1, but replaced that folder from a previous installation and now some of the options in MP Config are messed up.
They have to be the ones included in the 1.0.1 release.

TVServer uses very little CPU, so you can use the E1200.
If yoy have enabled Comskip to skip commercials, it uses a lot of cpu, but it's not multithreaded, so you have a free core for TvServer process when it's running (it's enough).
But you can also easily overclock the E1200.
