[QUOTE="ylaflamme, post: 238822, member: 68584"] I have coded the following enhancements on top of the 0.2.3 final release to get the same level of functionality I had with Meedio: My Music: [LIST] [*]ID3 Lyrics display in the upper left area of the "Now playing" screen when "Best album tracks" and "Track suggestions" are disabled (they are displayed in the same area). It simply display the ID3 lyrics as there are already a lot of stand-alone tools that can help you in feeding your MP3 with their lyrics. [/LIST] My Pictures: [LIST] [*]"Play videos" button above R. Slideshow when at least one video file has been found in the same folder. By clicking on it, you launch a fullscreen slideshow of those video files. The button label is "No video found" when no video has been found. It was much easier to develop than supporting videos through picture slideshow. [*]An OSD is now displayed during slideshow. By default, the OSD shows the picture description, the picture date and the current slide index. It is a simplified and fixed (UTF8 encoding instead of Unicode) version of the one I found on this forum. [/LIST] My Programs: [LIST] [*]The program list is now in focus by default (instead of the upper left button) as it the case in the other plugins (Music, Videos, etc.). [/LIST] General: [LIST] [*]Standby prevention: as I use my HTPC as an amplifier, I wanted to prevent sleep and hibernation when MediaPortal is active. I've done using the standard timer reset mechanism. It could be enabled using a setting. [*]Textbox single-line scrolling: in addition the page up/page down buttons and keys, you can now scroll one line at a time using the up and down arrows (MOVE_UP & MOVE_DOWN events). The spin control and the page up/down are still coherent with this new behavior by displaying the page on the current line and by decrementing/incrementing the offset by the amount of lines per page instead of the first line of the page. The lower and upper bounds are also handled (I have done my QA ;) ). [/LIST] If you (users and/or main developers) are interested in those features, please tell me and I could follow the standard procedure. For the moment, I have only coded them for the BlueTwo skin and the new labels are only in english (I can translate them into french (my mother tongue) also). Is it a problem to integrate those kind of features in a minor release? If it is a problem, I will keep them just for me ;) Thanks for your interest and feedback, Yannick [/QUOTE]
