Hi,

i am moving from MediaPortal to Xbmc because it is so much easier to use. Thanks for the great work.

There are few suggestions for features i would like to see in the final release.

1. Integrated Remote Functionality. I would like to use my mce remote but for that i need an extra program like eventghost or irss. if this would be integrated in xbmc it would be great.

2. 1080p skin supprt and more skins. the three skins provided with the download are fine but not really great. i hope someone can make a 1080 skin that is similar to Black and White

3. Automated and better support to acquire movie, tv shows and song information from the internet. maybe i haven't found the right way to do this yet, but i have to manually lookup thumbs and meta info for each movie seperately. otherwise i just get stupid results fetched. Same goes for song and album information and cover art.
A script would be cool, that could parse all my movies, tv shows and music files in one pass (even if it takes hours) and add all information to the library database.

4. customize default actions. Fo example when i click on a movie i want it to display the movie information first before i click on play. however, the default action on click is to simply play.

1) not saying it wont happen but when you support 4 different platforms its a lot easier to let other allready made apps (that work great) do the hard work and just add the basic
2) Black and white looks like its based on AEON go check it out in the skinning forum
3)It is there check the wiki Our wait for someone with more patience to type it all reply
4) No idea on that one

Welcome to xbmc

1)To add to what Jezz_X said, if it isn't already requested in trac file a formal feature request. Just don't hold your breath...

2)Totally up to skinners. JezzX is right that does look similar to AEON, but uglier IMO. Ask that skinner to port his skin from mediaportal to xbmc or use the ones we have available. There are a lot more than just the three included, check out the skin subforums.

3)http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Online_Manual imdb and tvdb scrapers always return very accurate results for me & most others.

4) may be possible with keymap.xml? http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Keymap.xml

Not gonna actually test it for you, but something like this might work:

Code:

<keymap>
    <MyVideoLibrary>
        <remote>
            <select>Info</select>
            <play>Info</play>
        </remote>
    </MyVideoLibrary>
</keymap>

@Se7enDays, before you ask any more question you need read our FAQ at at least try to search the manual:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Online_Manual
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Frequently_Asked_Questions

2. There are already many great skins available for XBMC, (if fact most skins available to MediaPortal are only ports of skins that where originally made for XBMC), just just have to understand that the majority of skins are made by third-parties which mean that you have to download and install them separately. Checkout our skin forum to begin with:

3. This is already automated, you just need to set content for your sources:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Set_Contents_(Video_Library)
Read the manual for more information about the library functions:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Category:Library

Locking this as you did not respect the forum rules which among other things state:

5. Respect that only one issue/subject per thread is allowed! Again, search for existing first!
6. Don't report more than one bug or one request per topic! Again, search for existing first!

The forum FAQ also contain a few good tips if you want to get heard:
