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!!

    AW: Microsoft Kinect input

    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

    You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.

    You are right, the one on the repository is correct, not sure how I ended up with a different version. See attached the incorrect version I ended up with.
