To perfect MediaPortal for different needs as a entertainment center in my house I have the following wishes for Christmas:
My set up is: 1x MP server, 1x 2TB Network storage, 4x MP clients in (Kitchen, Living room, Bedroom and Bathroom) everything is connected by a fiber optics network. – The thing is that for each room there are different specials needs.
Kitchen & Livingroom:
* When client is turned on, MP starts in TV fullscreen on the last watched channel. (Just like a regular TV).
* When activated by a keystroke, an RSS feed scrolls over the screen, it could be news or stock quots depending on the feed. (just like on CNN, see rss.jpg)
Bedroom:
* A sleep timer after 15,30,90, 120 minutes, MP goes into hibernation or shuts down the PC.
Bathroom:
* When MP is turned on it starts MY music and play the “default” playlist or the first one it see. Or maybe MP could be set to play a radio channel.
I hope one or more of these suggestions will be implemented into MP in the future, and a BIG thanks for a great piece of software my life wouldn’t be the same without it.
