My eight year old asked me yesterday how I was able to jump so precisely to the point after the commercial break. I explained to her about commercial skipping (didn't mention comskip) and she was suitably impressed.

My wife, on the other hand, has put a moratorium on UI changes. So, I am "stuck" with Avallonis for now.

    Come on guys, we all know that we break it just to get in trouble and enjoy the punishment...
    Surely that's the only reason we 'tweak' it when it's running perfectly well?
    Personally I prefer to skip the need to fix MP and ask to 'punish me mistress' - it's quicker and saves introducing issues...
    You really can't beat getting whipped with a hot ferret! ;)

    My wife gets annoyed with me when I tell her that she is not providing enough detail with her bug reports

    You really need some sort of armour if you come out with those kind of comments, personally do not know of anything strong enough ;)

    Now that is cruelty to ferrets, which I adore, could they not just use another Yorkshireman instead, or do they save that just for saturday nights :p

    I think we are seeing a side of Spud that none of us wanted to know about..... I said "Share" not "Scare"!

    Not just a Saturday, that would have to be a special birthday! (or take much more money than I've seen!)
    It's easier to just call the ferret Walter and dip him in some Yorkshire beer - then it's difficult to tell the difference.

    Little does she know that she will soon be an MP1.3.0 Alpha tester :)

    You will when you get it in the neck for messing with the TV again! :p

    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.

    Of course this would be the best option, but I guess it’s not that easy to integrate external players into MP2. It was somewhere discussed, but I could not find the related thread.

    VLC has a browser add-on that allows you to start a video selected in your browser in VLC, you then can use its record button. Doesn't always work though, my guess is it won't on protected vids but it is the only thing I have found other than the excellent download capability of Online Videos when available.
