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

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    Oh no. That's not good news. It looks like this is going to be complicated. OnlineVideos won't let us record, so that isn't going to work on this occasion, but I do like the information you have given on Online Videos because I have tried and failed to understand the wiki on that. I will remember this for future use. In the meantime...
