I completely agree with krntea here - no matter who does it or when. The idea is solid and will have a huge impact on the stability of MediaPortal in the long term.

I am finding new bugs (some severe) every day on my system for the month I have been running it. To be sure the problems are with MediaPortal, I've run the FusionHDTV software for three days straight now without turning it off and it hasn't failed once. You will notice there are no bug reports from me as yet. Heres why:

Initially, I was new and figured most of my issues were likely to be user related (which many were). I also didn't want to fill the forums with bugs that were probably already reported.

Now that its part of my main entertainment setup things are different. We're watching tv or whatever and MediaPortal crashes or does something crazy (always at the worst possible moment ). To suggest that I tell everyone they can't watch TV until I gather some info on the issue is just a ludicrous expectation - of me and my family.

I was thinking of having a notepad on the coffee table and taking notes every time something happens, and then during a period when no-one is using the tv (rare) replicate all the issues and gather all the info and post them to the forums. Then I saw this post.

I think this is an awesome idea. I hope the developers see this thread. Maybe they will be more open to it.
