Hey Sub...

I dont know if this is possible or not, but I think it would be nice to be able to have an mp3 file play in the background when you go into GBPVR and surf the menus before picking a show, etc. It just seems wierd when you go from watching a show back to the menus and everything is very quiet... Is this possible from the MVP as well?

Thanks,
Jigster

I believe this is already possible, just choose a song or a net radio station then go back to main menu. I use this to put background music while having a slideshow of photos. I normally use this on my mvp.

you can also do it with your music library.

now a real feature request would be to have some default set of music that would always play when you go to the menu. maybe for a inital investigation of this sub could have a folder in the GB-PVR directory which would contain background music that would be played at random. and then would stop whenever some other media was playing. and I think this would be a good idea

I guess some people are afraid of silence, like others are afraid of the dark.Wink

Ok, gave it some more thought: I think it's probably the same fear. People who are afraid in the dark are loud in the dark, meaning the dark increases their fear of silence. A nice test would be if this also works the other way round: do people in a silent environment turn on the lights (earlier)?

Edit: Maybe it's a nice test to perform on your grandchildren.
