HI

It is possible to do some rearranging of menus etc but as Spragleknas has said it requires editing the xml files for the skin you are using.

I have recently made changes to some xml files to relocate some buttons etc to make the interface less confusing.

I am not familiar with xml but found the changes quite easy to do but this is dependant on the skin you use. I used to use XFACE skin but as I dont know xml I found it difficult to interpret the xml files.

I recently made the switch to the MONACHROME skin which is much easier to understand and also has some extra menus that are added as plugins providing more flexibility.

Have a look if you're interested. If you are not familiar with xml then I will try and help as much as I can but as I said I am new to xml and so can only do basic things at the moment.

According to Wikipedia, Windows only uses code pages other than UTF-8 to support legacy (mostly 32 bit) applications and supports two code pages in addition to UTF-8 (OEM and ANSI). According to Microsoft, UTF-8 has been the preferred character set since 2019. If TV Server (or its import routine) were using UTF-8, then umlauts...

Those folder's last modified time isn't really accurate it seems. Latest change was a merge from PR #384 on may 3rd which was exactly that fix, see f.e. MediaPortal-1/mediaportal/MediaPortal.Application/MediaPortal.cs at 8fa4ccca20059a5534a029266efa596e83387f5b · MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1
