[mythtv-users] Playing music while browsing photos
MythTV Users, One of the features that (for me) would be neat in MythTV is the support of playing music while browsing photos or walking through the menus. Currently leaving mythmusic also means that the music stops playing. I have looked at mfd, but I'm not sure I understand what it does. It looks like a daemon that can be used by plugins (/clients) to play music. The mfd software is maintained in CVS, but I'm not sure if it can be used already with eg mythmusic. Does anyone know if this feature is somewhere on the radar or if it is already supported in some way? -- Niels signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I know this has been brought up on several occasions and if I recall correctly several developers, including Isaac, agree with you that it should eventually have this type of interaction between modules.

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 mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
