[QUOTE="TrECH, post: 244478, member: 69987"] Hi, At present time I'm running the release version "V0.2.3.0", and I must say that MP is working VERY GOOD, despite all the posts I've read about MP, and some user's requests for specific add-ons or functionalities. In my opinion MP works fine, with all the functionality needed for a typical Media Center Application. Of course, there's always room for improvements, but I'm happy that the MP Team has focused on the bigger picture (instead of making add-ons or functionalities for a small group of people......!!)! However there's one major problem with the MP: There's no graphical feedback when the MP loads new pages (like pressing "My Movies" or "My Music"). So basically when I load all my movies from my file server it takes about 4 seconds before the new page actually shows. The time is not a problem, however it's a major problem that the application does not respond to the user! We need some kind of message which presents the fact that the application is working (basically anything; "BUSY" icon, progress bar, on-screen message.......)! One great example is the "Weather plugin. When you enter the weather page, you are presented with the nice animated bury icon! In addition to this problem theres also another problem: When you press a button while the application is working, these commands are buffered instead of discarded. This is also a major problem since you'll soon end up in a very confusing "loop" (Enter the Movies page {buttons are then pressed while app. working}, after the Movies page is finished loading, it suddenly goes back to the Main Page! I've read another post regarding this problem (mid. 2007), but I cannot see that any "admins" have posted a response, or anyone who have the ability to fix this problem! In my opinion this is a major bug, since the GUI would be the main focus until the bugs are corrected! Until that point has been reached, all the "nice to have" add-ons should be paused.
