I *think* you could do this now. Use the "mfe" plugin to start playback of a playlist. This actually tells mfd to start the playback (obviously mfd must be running on the frontend). Now you should be able to go into mythgallery and start a slide show while mfd continues to play music. Note that you probably won't be able to watch any videos or use mythmusic until you stop the mfd playback. -JAC _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
