Hmm, you're right. PR 1.2 felt faster in that regard. Weird.

Installing the advanced kernel overclocked to 800Mhz makes
skipping fast again.

Can you add an option to add shoutcast stations into internet radio.
At the moment only "add to shelf" is possible. With some more stations
this can become very confusing.

It would be possible, but unfortunately SHOUTcast URLs change often, and it could happen that your bookmarks are worthless the next day.
The same applies to the shelf, too. :(

Nevermind. The option would be very helpful.

Is it possible to request a settings option? My primary use of Mediabox is in the car. In PR 1.2. I would just use qwerty12's hack to quickly turn on the FM Transmitter then start Mediabox up. However, after PR 1.3 it seems there may be problems with that hack.

If there was a setting option such as automatically turn on the FM Transmitter when Mediabox is running that you could toggle the transmitter on and off in settings then that would eliminate the step of activating the FM Transmitter apart from Mediabox. I do know of the menu option inside FM Transmitter but that still requires me to go to the now playing page, click the menu, then fm transmitter, then turn on and save. If it was completly automatically whenever Mediabox was on it would be much simplier.

I recommend a Bluetooth car radio. It works fine and you will have AVRCP
controls to play / pause and skip tracks. Mine is a Sony MEX-BT2600.

How can it happen, that a full album appears twice in genres? One is
"unspecified" and one is correct. There is only an id3v2 tag, no v1.
The original mediaplayer displays it in the correct genre only.

Does resuming after a reboot for you? I get no media in the last
content.

Hi, thank you for your response.

I checked the additional themes, one black and other white background.
It is a bit better, still a larger text would be nice.
Actually, there are only four lines of text on the whole display (except the tray), so plenty of empty room.
Would it be, please, possible, to make the letters still a bit larger, and, in case of need, to continue with the text on the following line in case of need?

(You might appreciate larger letters while getting slightly older :-), and be thankful if others have kind understanding for your body not serving you as twenty years ago and put larger fonts on business cards and MediaBox.)

Thank you and have a nice bright readable day!

Yeah... the only problem is I don't stick to one car. I have the one car that is mine, but I also drive the other three vehicles in the family. Not to mention there are situations where I'm just a passenger in someone's car (though in that case I can take all the time I want to activate the FM Transmitter).

Edit: Don't get me wrong, it's just a suggestion. :)

And it's a good suggestion. :)
