Niv

[pipsqueak]

id second that. (i think for us at least) it would be nice to have a consolidated place to post our suggestions. May not be as desirable for the MC staff though...

[lpr]

That would be great, I love this software and I would have 1 or 2 big whishes to share.

[nivw]

bumping my honk in support.
come on guys...

[KingSparta]

There was a wish list once; it seems to have died a horrible death.

[JimH]

This place is kind of a big wishlist.  

Make a wish.

[Omni]

I wish for love, harmony, and world peace.

1. Karma support:
* Karma plug in to avoid all that wdwm hassle
* enabling playlist upload
* karma plugin may also intreduce the karma as a hard drive, so I can play music off ov it.
* that plugin should also upload the internal database it has and refresh the "last played" tag - so I won't here the same song again.
* when I need more space I'll just ask MC to convert the songs on my karma from FLAC ->OGG
2. General MC stuff
* menu item that may look in a tag field and generete a playlist by each keyword. Preferebly from the view scheme. So if I have three values at "mood" tag -> I'll get three smart lists obaying each value, smartlist a (where mood=a), smartlist b ...etc.
* a recycle-bin inside MC, so as that I may recover lost songs, and yet clear them when I need more space.
more help - I browsed around and found two good guides on the net that had relevent info to all video-pc users. one is the famous doom9 capture guide and the other is http://www.inmatrix.com/articles/mediasetup.shtml
The later guide has simple explaintions of how to play any kind of media of the PC. As it happens these dyas there are quite a few types out there, and as the guide state, installing a "codec pack" may ** your system , darn good.
A newbie (like my dad for one) wants to have the links needed to play these type of media more accessable. something like: "you have choosen an unknown media type .... here are a list of..."
And more info about caputing and saving videos is also in place.

Web media -
*I want to have a better interface: while adding stations to my list, I don't want to select the genere each time I add a station.
I want to be able to choose the stream type (asf,real,ogg..).
Please have similer stations , with different bitrate collapse, no need for a page full of virgin stations.
* The MOST iretating in web-media is the hick-ups. if the coming stream is not steady you get the effect of a scratched cd.
Please fix it to behave like winamp (I don't want to use that program no more) does, as to turn silent in glitches.
3. TV recording
* Please add support for the fameus BT8X8 driver found at http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/
that driver solved a lot of problems for all kind of TV-card users with Win2000 and XP. especialy us Flyvideo owners.
* fine tuning tv chanels by mouse
* deinterlacing filter
* profile setting to allow real-time capture to MJPEG. and offline recomretion to Xvid/Mp3.
* OGM handling
* better sound sync options
* CPU/Disk usage histogram during the recording, to make choosing the recording profile easier.

Library auto-recovery, or even a auto backup and restore.

4. Radio integration
I use MC quite a lot fo radio recording. the automatic track split acording to sound voulme, make skipping commercials very easy.
The btwincap driver has all the AM/FM radio features in it. so I hope it  won't be that hard.

All for now,
Niv

[urlwolf]

Somebody really whished for a pong game hard...

[nivw]

media scheduler:
After assigning a lot of tasks, its hard to tell them apart.
Please add a name tag, so I may distinguish them.

I also ask for a Vorbis-tag repair tool
Niv

[markp99]

ooh ooh, I've got one!

1.  Command line support to permit loading alternate libraries/configs...one for each member of my household!  


Thanks!

[nivw]

I want to use different recording schemes for different recording tasks.

It would to be nice to have the option to trim off leading and trailing silence while ripping or converting (like we can in playback) since the iPod won't do it for us.

[LonWar]

You can trim a file using Media Editor... It's in the MediaCenter dir.

[Sir Alan]

You can trim a file using Media Editor... It's in the MediaCenter dir.

Thanks, it's a useful tool, but I'd rather like to have it happen automatically when I check a box.  I've got more than 4500 tracks in my library, and life is too short to do them one at a time!

[nivw]

When I want to import tags from the file name I have to first show its name, so I may match the import rule , rihgt?
So please show me the file name in the import from filename window.

If you figure 10% need to be 'cleaned', that's only 450, and at an average of 5 minutes each to open, edit, resave, & close, that's 2250 minutes, or 37.5 hours, or 1.56 days.

Where's the problem

Where's the problem

No problem, for anyone who is happy to sit doing that for (say) two hours a day for nineteen days or so , but I've got a life.  Automatic processing is what computers are supposed to be good at.  No point keeping a dog and barking yourself.

I've no objection to using Media Editor for special jobs, like trimming and fading in an exceptionally long intro (putting Money For Nothing on a compilation CD, for instance), or neatly splitting merged tracks.
