MP1 MP2 Under linux DE
With a bit of mucking around it's worth noting that I did get some of the key MPTVClient tool classes to compile under mono. This allows me to connect to the server; launch a channel and run MPlayer to watch telly under linux; so a cut down client can be done. If you're interested in some coding.. there's hope. Cheers erosco

You can play music files continuously by pressing play on the album sleeve an not by entering the album an playin individual tracks, e.g. If i go to music... Abba, and press play on remote or P on the keyboard, ON the album sleeve, it'l play the whole album, rather than clicking into the album an hitting play inside it.

Well, my 19" has a res. of 1280x1024 (4:3/non widescreen). This equals (1280x1024) about 1 300 000 pixels --> 1.3 MP. As I said before, DVD's are SD, meaning no more than about 500 000 pixels --> 0.5 MP

ok Thx for the answer. Although this feature in power cinema is a primitive feature i.e the plugin just take a snapshot of those 12 channels and show those pictures in GUI with an update period of some seconds, it still is very useful feature. Maybe a new challenge for an MP Developer?
