Hi,

It would be very nice if we can have custom background for every video file, like for example if you have a folder with the movie "The Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans" and you have inside a backdrop.jpg like this:

http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu228/hellover/backdrop.jpg

it should been taken by iMedian and displayed as background to that movie like this:

http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu228/hellover/Ex.png

and so on at every video file, and this can be done with audio to.

At the home menu in iMedian, i am refereeing to custom background for every category (Video, Audio, Webcasting etc.). This on the other hand can be customize from settings of each category.

I thing this will bring a great appeal to iMedian. And last but not least, if we can have a bigger fan art displaying, something like this:

Don't get me wrong, but everything else is big and the fan art is small, it dosent feel right. Thank you for your time, and i hope there is a way to implement this new features in iMedian, i thing it will be a great treat for many of us and future customers.

With this said i wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This is a very good idea. Just the size of DVD covers should be changed.

This is not a bad idea.

I think that in general there should be alternative browsing options for viewing the available video/audio/image folders. In the available one, the fonts are too large and awkward, while the album/cover art is way to small.

Lets not forget that many of us, use a LCD tv over 40 inch attached to our HTPC with IMEDIAN HD on it.

In particular we should be able to see the album/movie "cover art" larger. Maybe in the form of large cover art image thumbnails 4 to 8 per page with the name of the film folder or the album folder on the bottom of each image.

The Cover art of a film or a music album is part of the enjoyment experience in a correctly set up Media Center and it should be viewed with ease.

Thank you.
