Mhm one feature that would be really cool is if the server could act as Upnp Server for other upnp compatibel devices. It would be really cool to have a little upnp radio maybe in the bath or the kitchen which could play the full music library or the provided radiostreams. that really would nail down the mediaserver thing.

AW: Re: MP-II development progress
MP-II client and server will communicate via proprietary UPnP services and thus the MP-II server is NOT UPnP AV compatible at the first version.
But we plan to add a UPnP AV compatible media server service in the MP-II server application later. Technical, with our UPnP foundation it is no big thing to upgrade the MP-II server to be compatible with UPnP AV.

Sounds good. It would be nice if someone of you wrote a news article about the planning and features, possibilities and limitations of MP2 and posted it on the home-page. It sounds very good so far, but i feel there's a lack of official news.
Are you going to open a suggestion board for when you move your focus from 1.1.0 to 2.0?
What I would really love is the ability to move whatever I am playing back on my TV over to a tablet from a menu inside MP. Something like this:
- I'm watching a football game on my main TV (HTPC1)
- I decide that I want to make a snack.
- I open the "right-click menu"
- I click "change playback device"
- I then get a new menu where I can choose what playback device I want to move the stream to
- I choose "tablet 1"
- Then I get a menu where I can choose if I want to play it on both devices or just the new one.
- I choose "I'll be back"
- At this time MP-client sends a message to MP-server telling it to start "Tablet1" and stream the TV-channel to that device. It keeps playing the channel on "HTPC1" untill "Tablet1" is showing the video and audio.
- I then go off to the kitchen with my tablet to make the snack.
- When I come back I simply press the "I am back" button and it switches the stream back to "HTPC1"
The next step would be to integrate support for voice and motion controll
Imagine just having to either:
- Say "move media to tablet one"
- Getting a small popupbox asking "move media to tablet one?"
- Say "yes"
- And this happens.
- With "copy media to tablet one" you'll get playback on both devices.
Or draw a circle and then choose a device from that circle with another motion.
This can also be usefull in a "party setup" where you can choose to play music or other media on whatever UPNP-devices you have around the house.

Not sure if you've seen this but this gives a great example of voice control...
