[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 1107157, member: 24365"] One thing that I have discovered from Netflix that I really like is User customized experience. When MediaPortal is opened, you get to choose who's using it. Me, my girlfriend, or our kids. I'm gonna get back to this in a moment. Layout wise, I'd love to see more than one view on the same screen. Music for example, having album covers in a Film strip layout at the top and when one is selected, you automatically see all available tracks below in a List layout overlay without having to click the selected Album. If you [I]do[/I] click it, the focus shifts to the first track on the album. If you click Info on the selected item (or click OK/enter and hold it for a second) you get more options, like Add to [B]Current[/B] playlist or Bookmark, for later consumption (like putting all of your most attractive media in a basket). This basket can be called upon when pressing the Green button on your remote. If the basket is empty, you'll just get a list of available sections: TV (latest) [check box] Movies [check box] Series [check box] Music[check box] Plugins Putting a check in that check box will add all of [B]your[/B] favourite, user customized media and MediaPortal will remember this the next time this user has been selected. This removes clutter and narrows down the choices of media for your to enjoy. Add a small search button (that will search all media in your libraries).and you can get to any media type quickly. [B]Watching media with another member of the household:[/B] I watch lots of TV Shows. Some I watch with my girlfriend. I've made one view in MP TV-Series for "my shows", and one for "our shows". Having more than one customized user of MediaPortal (now it's just who's holding the remote) could allow users to belong to "groups". Say I add Arrow to "our shows". Watching an episode will then change the Watched status for both of us. If I have Arrow in "my shows" too, watching it will still show the episode as Unwatched in "our shows", as only I am part of the "my shows" group. Hope this makes sense, I'm getting sleepy.
