I am very happy with my UltraBay, but I've being using Microsoft Media Center and now I found one problem:
when I browse the items (for instance, musics) using the remote control, the FrontView only display the name of the main menu I entered ("Music"), so I cannot browse the albums titles (or artists, genres, etc.) to start playing a music without turning on my big screen TV set.
It would be very nice to have the items names on the FrontView while I am navigating accross them. Currently it shows the main menu "Music" and, if I used media before, the status of the media, for example, "Music - Video [Stop]", if I was previously on a video menu and just stoped the last view. That current media status maybe interesting, but it is very confusing. If I stoped the video like one hour ago, it would still display "Video [Stop]" even though I was in Settings menu and also browsed a lot of music, until I start playing another media.
For media status, I think it should say "Video [Stop]" as soon as I had stoped the video media, for some seconds and, then no more media status information. Maybe the [Pause] status could stay undefinedly, but it is not mandatory. The [Play] status is showed with media info and/or eq graph (those are good for both MCE and for iMedian).
For browsing in MCE it should be very nice if the name of the items browsed appeared in FrontView, at least for some seconds. For example, you navigate up-down "Movies" - "Videos" - "Music" (then, Enter and left-rigth) "<albums>" - "<genres>" - "<artists>" (then Enter and arrows) "Abba" - "Beatles" - "Carpenters", etc.
