Hiya there!

I always want to know the quality of the content im watching/listening to...

would it be possible to extract some info from files being played and have them appear on the OSD

I know Xbox Media Center did this very successfully and it was a great help in finding out the exact specs of video (and the audio) of movies.

Perhaps somewhere on the OSD there could be a feed from the file being played

it would show:

Audio (codec\filter used, format, channels, VBR bitrate, sample rate khz)
Video (codec\filter used, format, aspect ratio, frames per second, resolution)
Current (fps, dropped frames, cache)

etc etc

there could be a button to turn this info on/off

Great idea!
Now I always have to use GSpot to find out what goes wrong...

Looks good. Also My TV could show some statics about current DVB stream. Maybe even signal strength, if it's available in BDA.

I am new to using MP. I use XBMC and love it.

Is this feature implemented yet in MP? This is exactly what I am looking for!
