    Hi serak,

    i don't think we have an option for that, but i assume your windows option is still present in systray?
    Might be a bit unhandy if you'd like to keep MP open though... :oops:

    Yes, it is not very comfortable to stop MePo and go back to windows desktop to safely remove device. Especially if I use remote controller only. I'm surprised, nobody miss this feature.

    I am in the middle of other tests but it would be interesting to see logs from just removing the device...
    Does MP Client stay alive?
    If it is a Server/Client, does it stay alive?
    Win 7 (unlike previous versions) will not lose files.. I do it all the time without Un-mounting first.

    I have just installed 1.6. Where can I find it? I notice, I use remote controler only. No F1-F12 keys.

    i don't use MCE remote, but maybe the info button can open " context menu" available also with " F9", select your drive in plugins, and select " eject"

    I have not experienced that myself, and I don't know of any reason why that might occur (but my knowledge of how TV Server works is not extensive). It is strange that you mention this because there are now four DVB-T channels in the UK that behave in the same way (this is new for the UK). I think that these might be some sort of...

As described, this suddenly stopped working after an update in the last few months. Yesterday, as a test, I deactivated this check box and it...

    It is not automatic like mp1 but you could set up the "Launcher" plugin and manually launch an external video player from mp2. I believe the Launcher plugin is included in the mp 2.4 install.
