[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 179690, member: 10723"] yup, the small issues are realy annoying. but since we the team is quite small, the developers are all busy with the major issues, so not realy have time to fix the small ones :( sadly that wont even work with MCE flawlessly, because of the "structure" of the DVD-menus. everyone loves to "tweak" their menu...... :S thats allready "fixed" in TV-Server. you can renamed your channel by SID and / or sort based on sid (wchich is your channelnumber) there are only very few providers which privide that info (at least here in europe, we do not get that info :( ) i would like to have that too. but you need someone with enought time to implement that. and we do not have that many developers (even if the users think that). since you are a software developer, you might could have a look at that? :) the "workaround" is to schedule only the first aired episode. i.e. new episode Mo-Fr 14:00 - recurring is aired Mo-Fr 21:00 then i schedule the edpisode on 14:00 as a series schedule with "Mo-Fr". the "main problem" is the core of MediaPortal. too much is handled inside the core. so if you change something to fix bug A, this causes features X, Y, Z to break, or introduces 5 more new bugs..... its like playing [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikado_%28game%29"]::mikado::[/URL] there will be a major change in the near future ;) well, again... the team is way smaller then the users out there might think. our "long time users" are a great help with support in IRC and forums. but we simply do not have the manpower to take a look at every single report. there is noone who is dedicated working on the DVD part. and it seems like noone from the team (nor the community ;) ) has the knowledge and the time to take a look at it. would be nice if we would find someone for that :) a nOOb proof one button click installation tool will be avaivable soon to install TV-Server, SQL-Server, MediaPortal and the client plugin. [CENTER][SIZE="5"][B]--------------------------------[/B][/SIZE][/CENTER] the constand crit. that we are [U]only[/U] adding new features is simply wrong. just read the [B]MediaPortal[/B] svn log to find out what is beeing work on. [I](please dont mix that up with TV-Server, which is not in a freeze. that will happen as soon as 0.2.3.0 is released)[/I] +90% of all svn changes are bugfixes or changes to improve the useability. if we get a working code change submitted from i.e. a new teammember, and pre-testing shows that it doesnt break anything, then it possible that it gets integrated into svn. [CENTER][SIZE="5"][B]--------------------------------[/B][/SIZE][/CENTER] again, we can just: [SIZE="5"][COLOR="Green"]call for help!!![/COLOR][/SIZE] the term "Team MediaPortal" sounds like there would be a huge team in the background working on MediaPortal, Tv-Server, Deploy Tool, TestTool, MPI and so on.... the reality is that the team is quite small (or the amount of very active team members that is). so if [B][COLOR="Green"]YOU[/COLOR][/B] can help us with Testing/Bugreporting, Development, Design or Documentaions [COLOR="Green"][B]PLEASE DO[/B][/COLOR]! :) :thx: [/QUOTE]
