[QUOTE="ajs, post: 1286852, member: 68833"] I don't use the Configurator, I use the Media Portal. And when I'm interested in information, I want it here and now. Not google on my phone, or ask Google Assistant. Each user has his or her own cases of using the Media Portal. Everyone has different preferences, etc. The part that concerns actors, information about actors, information about all the movies in which the actor starred. Made in its infancy. It can be expanded in the future. And the grabbers have full access to the database. So delete what is not worth it. Change the structure, perhaps, but I do not see a problem in the structure of this part. No one is against change, but if the change will lead to a deterioration in functionality, then I don't see the point in this change. In order to change what is already there, and what can be in the future, it is necessary to understand the full picture of the functionality of the MP. If you do not use this feature, it does not mean that it is not used by a couple of thousand people around the world. I know of several features in MP that are most likely used by just a couple of people. Or functions in plugins that no one uses. But that doesn't mean they should be removed. Maybe tomorrow thousands of people will use them. There are no hard feelings or prejudices here. This is a healthy discussion.
