[QUOTE="happyfirst, post: 197615, member: 54174"] Well I'm back to try media portal again after 2yrs but already the home screen is driving me nuts and I may have to move on to the next program. 2yrs ago I tried it out and it was just too unstable for me or my family to use. Here I am two years later and the same annoying behaviour from 2 YEARS ago is still present and if anything a show-stopper now. Now I'm experimenting again to see if it's more stable but my server will now be in the kitchen driven by an ELO touchscreen. All the other pcs would be clients. And what would stop me dead in my tracks? The most annoying scrolling home menu. It's next to impossible to select anything on the home screen. Even setting the server up using a mouse, it's still hard. The very first screen that anybody will use and it stops me cold. I searched to find a way to turn it off but I haven't found anything yet. If anything, it seems this annoys a lot of people. And too think it's been there for over 2 years. I found one post that mentioned going into the home plugin to turn off scrolling but I don't see any option there. Am I missing something? 1) Is there a way to just have a set of static buttons? 2) Is there a way to turn off scrolling? Seems like this software is meant to only be used from a remote control?
