    notepad?

    mediaportal is more for media, i suppose *info* about media is a good idea, but on the whole..not really needed

    This is not the answer i expected ...
    a short is possible or not would be enough ...

    btw, in my eyes there are many useful capabilities for showing textfiles ...
    own dvd lists, recipes, tutorials, important dates, addresses, ebooks and many many more ...
    and it would be very nice if i had them all in my favorite HTPC software ...

    regards Marcus ...

    My answer also comes down to notepad (or whatever is associated in Windows). Sorry.

    If you go to MP Configuration
    go to plugins
    enable MyPrograms if currently disabled
    rightclick MyPrograms and select Configuration
    Click Add as Child
    Select Application Launcher
    Enter a title
    Select your txt file in the Application field.
    Now you can select it in MP by going to the Plugins/Programs.

    Also make sure that "Always on top" in general settings is NOT selected (I think...).

    HTH

    Mhhh good hint ..

    Notepad or write are not realy nice ...

    But Paddy seemed a nice program http://freenet-homepage.de/h.ulbrich

    You can define the font size, background and text color ...

    The Problem is to close the Program to get back to MP or to access the file menu ...

    My remote is the Microsoft Remote.

    I think you can control (close) other apps with IR Server Suite. Not 100% sure. Search it, try it or ask the developer over in this thread.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Are different people taking turns watching the same thing on the same HTPC? For me, separating users in MP2 is a drawback, as is the interface. Simply put, this can't be done in MP1, or rather, it can't be done quickly, because everything would have to be rewritten. But if each user logs in with their own Windows account, MP1 can...
