I had more problems in this one day than with alpha in the last weeks. I will try to remember the biggest problems:-One of my Video folders is on another PC in the network. Alpha reconized very quick when this pc is offline, but Beta waits/try to reach it for about 10 sec - so MP freezes for this time. And this freeze happens again each time the video folder list is shown.-I had several crashes while watching a tv record, not stopping it and choose another record. That leads to a MP freeze. It seems like the gui works in the background (i hear the sounds when using my remote) but screen freezes (even if I wait for a long time) and I could do nothing else than terminating MP.-TV Program Guide: In Alpha you could make larger steps forward (in the future) in the program guide by using "Forward" button (the one you hit when you want to play a movie at 2x, 4 x ... speed). That also works while TV or record is running in the background. But in Beta it leads to an increasing playbackspeed of the video in the background... And I could not reach the arrows in the upper left corner to switch the days by remote control (with UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT buttons). Bad usability when trying to record a movie in a few days ...That are the 3 main errors I can remember at this moment. TV Server also crashes one time, but maybe this was an exception.I know this is not the right place for suggestions but now I'm doing a post and with this version I realized a small change in the IMDB function of my Video (If the first search with filename was failed, the filename is inserted in the field for manual search) Nice function, maybe the guy who change it can implement a very small function: Search after foldernames instead of filenames. I'm engaged in writing MovieInfo scripts but MP is just delivering the filename to the script so I can't search after foldernames. If you don't want to add a little hook (f.e. "using foldernames instead of filenames") in the configuration tool and a setting for this function in mediaportal.xml, maybe this is a possible easy solution: If you start the IMDB search by selecting a video file (right click / IMDB) you use the filename, when you start it by selecting a foldername, you use the foldername. Mp already notice if a folder or a video file is selected (the menu after right click is different), so it should be "easy" to change. And it works for both people, those who like to use filenames for organisation and those who use foldernames without changing anything in configuration tool, translations files and so on.
