[QUOTE="bd2003, post: 142181, member: 49280"] 1) The ability to access filter properties while playing a movie. Sometimes you just need to do a little tweaking in order to get a movie to play right, and its a pain to have to exit out of MP in order to do so. 2) Similarily, some sort of "quick menu" during playback, akin to XBMCs, where you could access nearly everything during playback. MP lets you change aspect, and fiddle with subtitles...and thats about it. 3) An intuitive remote control/HID mapping utility in the GUI somewhere. Theres a million different remotes and devices, and configuring them through setup is far too complex. Right now, nothing works reliably for me but the udlr and ok buttons. It would be wonderful if in setup, there was a section that was like "press so and so button for up, down, etc" Alternatively, set up a simplified control scheme that uses UDLR, and 3 buttons - Menu, OK, and Back/Cancel. This is somewhat possible already, but inevitably I have to go back to the keyboard for some reason or another. XBMC was really elegant because it worked great with just a very few buttons. I wish I had that same amount of control with MP. Instead, I always have to break the keyboard out, and try and remember which button is "add to playlist etc" 4) The ff/rew feature is fairly cripped by the fact that you cant see intuitively how far ahead youre going. We cant use the mouse to pick an exact portion, and when we do use the remote, and say go ahead 5 minutes, we see a number, but no graphical representation of how far along the movie we'll be going etc. 5) A scrollbar for the home page. Using a mouse to navigate the list of apps from the home page is the most aggravating thing in the entire world. I really would prefer a scrollbar, scroll buttons...ANYTHING but go a little up and hope you stop it in time. MP does everything I need it to do...it just seems like theres more focus on adding new features than really nailing whats in there already. It could certainly be a lot more intuitive to use.
