I couldn't find any feature request forum yet for MP2, so I'll post it here.

I mis this feature in MP1, it's a anti idle or loading overlay when you start to play a movie or switch plugins or other navigation actions or normal actions. If I for example start a movie there is no indication that it is excually loading the movie, it just stands still and then... *PLOEP* it starts the movie. Same thing when going back to main menu, it takes a few seconds, but doesn't show that it is loading anything. This option is ofcourse obsolete if MP2 is so fast all the time that it doens't need any loading time ;)

    I would really like to see this feature too. Especially because my remote is kinda crappy so I'm not always sure whether I've clicked or not.

    Will there be the ability to mix and match video and sound? Example would be watching a movie but listening to music. Same for watching TV but listening to radio (or music). For things like sports, the radio often has superior commentary to TV sound. Or sometimes, when friends are over, I like to put the game on but listen to music. Also, did you know the Wizard of Oz syncs up with Pink Floyd's The Wall (or so I've heard)? ;)

    Such a feature would be great. I often wished to hear my music but to see if the commercial is over.

    Yepp, MP-II will have the ability to have up to two players open - two video players in PIP or a video and an audio player. When two players are open, one of them provides the audio signal.
    I've put much work into this feature to get it work in a sensible way and to show multiple player controls it in the GUI.

    Exciting! I'm so glad to hear that features like this (and PIP) are going to be built in. :D
