[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1228084, member: 141969"] In a previous life I worked for a company that bent over backwards to maintain upward compatibility with each new release of the product. Obviously, this did [I]not[/I] mean that bugs went unfixed, but if a change was made to the externals of the product, or the behaviour of the product, that change was offered as a user setting, with the default being the old way of doing things (unless the new way was clearly superior). Have you added a user setting to control switching from the old way to the new way? It seems to me that one of the reasons that people choose to use MP instead of the DVRs sold/rented by their TV providers is [I]precisely[/I] because they can customise MP to appear and behave in exactly the way that they want. So the proposed change is a valuable addition to the range of customisations offered by MP, but the old style should continue to be supported. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
