Updating the site.

By ryan.tollefson - Posted on February 18th, 2009

I have been doing some maintenance and updates to the backend services for Media Center Guides. You should notice the site is much faster; I also fixed a bug that was causing the RSS feeds to break, so welcome back to all who are subscribed. Sorry for the inconvenience. Things should be running much better now. This has also helped pave the way for several new features coming over the next month. Stay tuned.

Quick Tip

Use the channel +/- buttons on the remote to browse the guide a page at a time.

Press "Clear" on the remote to delete the media that is currently highlighted (works for Recorded TV, Videos, Music, and Pictures).

In the Guide, press FF/REW on the remote to skip forward/back 3 hours at a time.

With a picture on screen, press "Info" (or "More") on the remote and select "Rotate" to rotate it.

In the picture library, highlight the folder or tag you want, then press "Play" on the remote to start a slideshow.

You can enhance your Media Center experience through 3rd party applications. Click here to see some.

In the Guide, press Skip/Replay on the remote to skip forward/back 12 hours at a time.

While in the guide press the Record button on the remote twice to do a series recording.

With an album, video, or recorded show highlighted, simply hit "Play" on the remote to start it playing immediately - faster than pressing "OK" and then selecting "Play" on the menu.

Almost any menu strip can be hidden with a simple registry tweak. Click here for details.

Pressing "OK" on the remote while watching Live TV will go to the previous channel.
