So what can you change with the TweakMCE power toy?

  • Disable autorun of Interactual content
  • Change the DVD notification timeout
• TV
  • Change the skip forward interval
  • Change the skip back interval
  • Change the storage location for recorded TV
  • Change the watched folders for recorded TV
  • Change the length of time a notification appears before a recording starts
  • Change reaction time compensation
  • Change the more info panel timeout
  • Change the seek bar timeouts
• Music
  • Make the pivots in the music area sticky
  • Turn off that annonying add to queue notification
• Reomte Control
  • Enable a universal remote control by turning off debounce
  • Set your remote control ID so you can have multiple MCEs in one room

Some of those settings could have entire blog posts written about them which I hope to do soon.
