Just reaching out to see if there is any interest in this feature before I log it on mantis...

Quite often I want to be able to play different video source from audio source - eg play some "mindless" video graphics whilst listening to CDs/mp3s, or watch TV or more often a video file/DVD whilst listening to my own music as the background. Currently there is no way of doing this from LMCE. I need to switch the TV to a different video source, or vice versa, and that kind of goes against the idea of LMCE running all your media Smiley

Technically, it shouldn't be difficult (at the xine level, although I have no idea whether this would screw up the DCE messaging side of things), but obviously, getting a nice, flexible but easy to use UI to do this could be interesting! Certainly, I haven't really thought of anything specific that would fit the bill.

Before I log it, would like to know if anyone else is interested in this, too. More likely to get traction if many are interested!

I think this is something that can be useful. You should be able to multitask with a home automation system like LMCE.
