    if you could use the Xbox controller with windows XP, then yes cause direct input control via gamecontroller is nativly supported by mediaportal.

    nevertheless - i'm not sure if you can use a Xbox_controller in winXP but i'm anyway not such a consolero (-;

    i know what i mean is

    in XMBC i can for example use A for things like "select item" and when watching a video i can also use it as "Pause" and while paused i can bring up the OSD and control that and when press A it doesnt unpause the video but does the "select item" command then when i press the button to hide the osd i can unpause with A

    is this possible because i tryed all day to do it with MP and i couldnt figure it out

    Sums up the problem I am having. Sorry if I wasn't clear. No, #selectedthumb is not preserved on going to the next window. That's exactly what I am trying to solve. An example is moving from mytvrecordedtv.xml to mytvRecordedInfo. The variable changes from a screen grab thumbnail from the video file to a channel logo during...

    I am running a Xubuntu machine as a server with all my movies and series on it, I run a VirtualBox VM with Windows 10 installed on the virtual machine and MP1 client installed on that. MP runs fine on the VM but I no longer have a tv tuner to test if passthrough is possible. I don't think it would work anyway.
