Hi guys,

I hava an iMon and was missing the volume OSD whenever playing music or whatever as only full screen TV shows volume changes.

http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10993

This link is a OSD volume control (seperate program). If you hook your iMon volume buttons directly to windows volume master and use this plugin, you will always see a nice fading in and out volume bar (fully skinable), mute image when muted and even ejects of any SD cards etc...
Its listens for changes in the volume, so whatever way you change the volume (keyboard, Silverstone volume button), it always pops up.

Thought some people may have been missing it too. Ifso, here ya go ;)

Cheers,
Bjorn

- Comics (daily comics, several, where is Dilbert?!) ;)
- My Lyrics (Nice one too, like this one, get lyrics from your songs).
- My Mail (can have a quick GMail check)

eeh... think that was it...
oh yeah, and with the imon I switch between bedroom and livingroom mode, also very handy.

Guys, again, good work. Look at all these features !!! Fantastic!

One thingie I found lacking was though (Yeah I am picky, I know) in recording TV.
I can select a secondary audio channel (I am in spain and always prefer the original version instead of spanish narration). Now when I watch them ofcourse, its fine, because I can change it, but when I want to record movies, I cannot select which channel it should record. Maybe I am missing something, please let me know if one of ya devs come across this post.

Again, this is the best mediacenter in the world. LinuxMCE pretends to be I believe, but I have to give that a try. This, in my experience, remains the best.

Keep it up! Maybe focus on stability (which is already really good), but you have already SO many features. Maybe it would be better to do some bug fixing and enhancement. Just an idea....

Okay again, :D !
