As I’ve documented in the past, I have several HTPC’s running Windows Media Center. I also use MediaBrowser for TV series and movies ripped from disk. I’ve found that MediaBrowser works much better with an external player than the internal player — performance seems to be superior — so I use Media Player Classic Home Cinema. I also have several Media Center remote controls for use with the various HTPCs, and one of the most frequently used pairs of buttons are the “jump” or “skip” buttons which in media center jump the current playback forward by 30 seconds or back by 30 seconds. This is really handy for skipping adverts in recorded TV. However, under default installation settings these keys don’t work when playing videos in MPC-HC. After much trial and error I finally figured out the correct configuration

0New IBN Studios upload
A user called “Chipmonkery” has uploaded a new studios pack to the [intlink id=“2659” type=“post”]IBN project[/intlink]. This doubles the previous number of studio images. Hopefully it will include many (or at least some) of the icons I listed in my [intlink id=“78” type=“post”]earlier post[/intlink]. I will update that post accordingly.
0Missing studios from IBN project
Below is a list I’m slowly compiling of Movie Studio logos that are missing from the [intlink id=“2659” type=“post”]Images By Name project[/intlink]. I hope to eventually locate sources for them all and at a convenient point will submit them to the project.
Crossed-out items are now included in the available downloads. Grey items are items that are alternative names for existing studios — these can be added by duplicating the relevant folder and renaming it.
0Tweaking Media Browser Performance again
Last year I posted about [intlink id=“41” type=“post”]improving the performance of Media Browser[/intlink]. In the end that attempt yielded disappointing results. However, I’ve recently been experimenting with various ways of improving performance as my library size increases.
