[mythtv-users] Myth Ideas

[Zagaroth]

The only real thing i have to add to this is maby we should have less
modules them more...
What i would like to see is MythMusic and MythVideo joined togeather. I have
lots of
MP3's and music videos which i would like to have played from the same
program... then
have maby some nice visulations going when its a mp3 and the video when its
a music video

Anyway thats my 2 cents worth....
