If you got the radio icons working, then I assume you have worked out the whole thumbs thing already. I don't think it's possible with Messenger at this stage. Would be good if it was though. If I'm wrong, let me know. I would like to set this up too.

Hi all, I've been having trouble for a while with the IceTV EPG grabber. I had it running as a scheduled task in windows to wake my HTPC and download the guide data on a daily basis. Problem is, it didn't download regularly (it's on a wireless connection to my router) and I would have to close Media Portal and run the task...

I couldn't find a conclusive topic on how to do this, so I made one. Follow these instructions on how to remove the WMP visualisations from My Music, and display the album art as a static image (I only know this works for the BlueTwo skin in 0.2RC1 and 0.2RC2, but it may work for 1.3 and other skins..) Alternatively you can...

As a side note - APE files aren't entirely supported in MP yet, so when browsing My Music, the track time doesn't display correctly on each line (either says 0:00 or some other random time which will be the same for all tracks - mine says 3:42 a lot) - however it does display correctly when playing a track. Odd!

I'm having some issues in MP where the subtitles are forced, no matter what settings I choose in haali media splitter or directvobsub or MP. Also, dman_lfc told me today that when directvobsub is invoked, DXVA is disabled. This is detrimental to playback, especially of 720p and greater content. I was tooling around on the intarweb...
