Firstly, congratulations, and well done for such an amazing effort. I have had a little play with MP2 today and it seems to be a great product in the making!
I have set up the MP2 Server to run on my server PC and put a shortcut into the windows startup folder. I have then setup the client to run on the client PC using multishortcut from MP1.2.2. This setup seems to be a very nice way of testing MP2 without too much disturbance to my system, so hopefully I will be able to do some good Alpha testing.
Questions:
1) I have looked around quite a lot, but I can't find a way to quit MP2 using the remote control (only using the mouse to click on the small X in the corner of the screen). Am I missing something, cos this would be useful to return to MP1.2.2 after "playing" with MP2.
2) I have been able to get the TVService working on my server (single seat mode) using MP2, but I can not connect to the client. I have entered the IP address (simply putting "192.168.1.3" without any "//" or anything else with it). Are there any firewall settings I need to change to get this to work?
3) Should the MP1.X keyboard shortcuts work with MP2? The reason I ask is because buttons like STOP (b) don't work when media is playing. Is this work-in-progress, or might I have a bug?
4) The release information for MP2 says that "Online Videos" is already released for MP2. Where do I find it?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks again!
