Just installed Music box 4. Love it! Just a couple of questions :
1. Can you select a genre? It doesn't look like it.
2. Can you import M3U files? I've exported my playlists from iTunes but don't know what to do with them.
I have some wishes for the music box plugin and am sure additional input for interface features by others are needed before a new release is written, if possible.
- When a song is played a new screen focusing on the artist or album selected with a timeline bar, having pause/ff/rw, shuffle, continuous play, next, previous, repeat options. Maybe possibility of displaying artsy stuff somewhat similar to how Win media player does.
- Ability to add, create, edit, select from multiple playlists. Also, when playing having a timeline bar and display similar to above.
I am experiencing a tremendous amount of latency when trying to fast forward, pause/resume, rewind whether watching live tv, or recordings. I have disabled comskip from the parallelprocessing.bat file as recordings run into gaps that create the same latency, which normally require a shutdown/restart of npvr. I have another issue with comskip as when I can make it past the latency period the recording jumps back to previously viewed material.
From what I gather, the latency issue may be corrected in the next release.
With the comskip/latency problems involved I am using VLC to view recordings via windows explorer or NEWA play option, which works well.

In dealing with the user interface, I would like the ability to double click the left mouse button to toggle in and out of full screen view. The alt/enter requires me to dig out my keyboard for the htpc.
FF/RW/Pause options on the timeline would be nice.
On a somewhat related note: Are the right mouse button options adjustable via the config.xml file? I haven't dug through the file regarding this. I would like the ability to make interface selections without going to the main menu. Also, if live or recorded showings could be shown within a small box while maneuvering through the interface would be awesome.
Btw., it looks like that the developers only get support from amd. Intel seems not to be interested in supporting this project. So don't expect wonders on non amd systems.
2 similar stories that I just knew would happen sooner or later.
Everyone pushes internet streaming but in the states, ISP's are crying, "we don't have enough bandwidth" yet we're sucking it up. Either someone is lying or stretching the truth or they just want to make more money. Now that we've been sucking on the teet for so long, they figure we won't give it up and will pay more. I think they know we will.

I scanned them fine but they do still have the encryption flag set. I can watch them in npvr, but something isn't happy as using the channel up/down buttons gives me an unhandled exception. Typing the channel number directly shows them fine.
I quite like the idea of being able to do a season record but only keep the file for a fixed period of time before being automatically deleted.
For instance there is a soap we watch if nothing else is on, I would like to have it season recorded so I can watch if we have nothing else on, but it's on daily so if I dont watch the episode on the night it's aired I'm never going to watch it because it's really not that important I'll skip a show and I'll catch up the next night.
I could use the keep 1 show setting but I'll still end up with a show on the hard drive I don't need.
