I can see that your experiences can be used. I could see a web reports page that shows the most accessed movies, I think I remember (don't ask where) I saw on these forums someone was wanting to know what the least watched movies were. I would expect your database work could be of much help. I would tell you find something that appeals to you and work on a solution instead of asking other what they want. You will get much more satisfaction. Plus for your first MP project it helps just to learn the "lay-of-the-land" to dig into the various areas and it could be you will find that magic project that everyone loves.

Why not work on the music end of the project with more incorporation with AudioTron and other streaming devices? I saw that SlimDevices (http://www.slimdevices.com/) just introduced a very clean looking squeezebox network music player. AudioTron, slimdevices, and RokuLabs (looks like they just brought out a reviced device also) are very much into the music network devices. It would be so cool to have MediaPortal as being that central portal to those devices.

edit: I could see some background work (maybe even additional web interfaces?) with the slimserver (the server that streams to the above music network devices - would be so cool. Have you looked into it - check it out at: http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html - it is opensource!

Best of wishes!

[QUOTE="mzemina, post: 23265, member: 11677"] I can see that your experiences can be used.
