Hello!
Really great work on mediaportal. It's great and I love it!
Some things bug me.
I've used mediaportal for about 4 months now and I'm really getting a hang of it.
First of all, I think you should have the possibilty to create other directories than just My Plugins and Home. I mean with many games etc, coming out on pluginsyou should have the abilty to create a directory named My Games (or any other language). Its quite annoying the way it is, specially if you have many plugins.
Second. There is a plugin called: global search (I never got it to work, but still). I think the main thing that is supossed to do is to make that you can search through all of the MP3 in that directory you have chosen. This is a great idea. I have many Mp3, some of them are mixed som of them not, but still if I want one song it's impossible to know where it are sometimes. This feature could really be good to have built in to media portal.
Third. Some of the plugins I have had a really really hard time to install. I mean its quite hard to know where to put everything. I'm not a programmer and don't have the knowledge to deal with some of the plugins. There even is a plugn taht makes it easier to install plugins, but I never got that to work either. Maybe if you could make this more easier that it is it would be really good.
Fourth. I'm having some problem with certain videofiles. Like .mkv files with multilanguage, the main thing here is that when I play it in Mediaprtal and both languages will start to play. This is really annoying.
Fifth. A simple suggestion is to have a feature called Open File. That basically lets you open any .exe file on the computer. It's probably quite easy but it's a good to have thing. I find the lack of this quite annoying.
Sixth. When you have a directory with many videofiles and you want to play it in a row, can't you make them play this automatically?
This is all I can come up with right now.
If you fix this or not, it's totally up to you guys. Either way i'm going to stick by to MediaPortal because it still rocks and might be the greatest program out there...
