It would be good if when your watching a video and you press F11 for a screenshot you get the opion of using it for for the thumbnail of the video

    From the Changelog:
    "On 13/05/2006 [15:59:33] mPod added the following change: added missing Screenshot action (mapped to F11), saves to "My Pictures" windows folder"

    Maybe an option could be added to let MP make a screenshot after a specific number of minutes to take a screeshot of a recording autimatically. And save it in the recordings-folder.
    This way you would always have a thumbnail for a recording.

    It allready does this but

    It doesnt allways do it
    It only does this for recordings not videos
    And you have no control of when it takes the screen shot so you coudl end up with a thumb nail of an advert.

    What do you mean by that?
    I've never seen MP taking any screenshot automatically. :?

    But I know this function since myHTPC.
    There you could set after how many minutes a recording starts, it should take a screenshot automatically.
    So everbody can specify this for his special needs.
    The F11 option iwould be nice in addition to that.

    So, you're power cycling the TV, but not putting the PC to sleep ? In General => Startup/Resume settings, try checking "Ignore Windows resolution/size changes" In Codecs and Render, try selecting the specific audio device rather than "Default DirectSound device" Just ideas, no guarantee this will do anything. If this doesn't work, I...

    Sadly, it seems that development of MP2 has come to a stop. Perhaps it will restart in the future. Meanwhile...
