If I didn't miss something, it seems to me there is nothing that happens when you select full screen while playing music. Would it be possible to start a screen saver for distractive effects on the screen like displaying pictures or else?

    Have you set up any visualisations in the MP config section? search the forums for Visualisation and you should get a lot of results.

    Sorry, I missed that because I hadn't the Bass player selected. Now it's better and I got nice things on my screen!
    Some suggestions though:
    . It seems there is no way to switch vizualisation within MP.
    . When in full screen (red button) would be nice if the information button display the current track details (same popup as it is when it is enabled at the start of the track).
    . 'Now playing' seems very useful too. It gives timeline etc. Why not associate it with a button (green?) when within the music section? It would be cool to have the red button for vizualisation and the Music button for main menu (as it is now) plus another generic button for 'now playing) this covering them a very basic and daily usage...
    Thank you for the job anyway!!! :)

    Right. Visualisations can only be changed within Configuration.
    It is on my task list to be able to change it from within mp itself

    . When in full screen (red button) would be nice if the information button display the current track details (same popup as it is when it is enabled at the start of the track).

    good suggestion. i'll have a look into it.

    When you talk about "green" button, i asume you have a MCE style remote.

    you can use Configuration -> Remote and use the Mapping button to assign any action to a button.
    you can define a condition that while within Music and pressing the "green" button, you are transferred to the Now Playing screen.

    Thank you for the reply.

    Yes I ment an MCE style remote. I don't know if there are more generic names to index buttons...

    Configuring the remote... Oh yes, I forgot that one. It slept my mind you can do that. I'll try to do it that way.
