Hey all.
I'm getting to the point where Media Portal is starting to run pretty good for my Ripped DVD Movies and TV Shows.
What I do tend to notice is that the Internal player tends to start and stop very quick. Not a huge deal, what on some of my media (particularly TV shows) it tends to cut off the first and last second or so of playback. Is there any way to add a buffer (with out editing my Media files) so it the internal player will wait a second or so after starting before beginning playback and then do the same before closing down?
Also, I had a thought about Subtitles. On a number of my rips I have secondary subtitles or forced subs that would normally play automatically on a set top box. In MP's internal player I have to manually select these subs after playback begins. Not a huge deal, but it would be nice to automate this. My idea was simply this: Make a plugin that would remember the previous audio\video\subtitle settings of a specific file and then auto load those settings on future viewings. I'm no programmer so I wouldn't know where to start with this, but it seems like it might be fairly easy to accomplish and integrate into MP, but, again, I'm no programmer. Any thoughts?
