Hello Guys,

i just saw on the Internet that the Kinect Drivers and an SDK is released for windows.

Is anyone (MP Team, or other coder) planing to make it useable with MP?

This would be so nice!!

    Well, i agree that the technology is quite and may add value to certain scenarios but would you really like sitting on the sofa and moving your hands around just to switch a channel???

    For me a good remote is the best tool to use my HTPC

    exactly, its cool technology but come on im tired of watching in the movies that you need your whole body to control your desktop when right now i just need my right hand and one finger.

    its just going backwards!!

    I'm pretty sure, that many users would be grateful with a useable implementation of kinect in MePo. Even if it's just a gimmick and you will not use it all the time, it's just cool and people want to show this kind of technology.
    And who knows, maybe there will be a team of devs who are making a game for this. This would give it another usability ;-)

    You could set it up to detect who just walked into a room and switch on that person's favorite movie/channel...lol

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.
