[QUOTE="ge2301, post: 1291814, member: 145639"] I guess it's really a rare case, most users use remote controls, then keyboards and last mouse. I tired to design things mouse friendly as much as possible, because it was almost impossible when I joined the team. As former WMC user I quickly decided to create a WMC-like skin which comes as close as possible in terms of appearance and functionality. As designer I coould do much for the appearance, but the functionality has limitations of the skin engine and requires often deep modifications in the models behind as you can usume. Could question, I'm not recording at all and just have some dummy ts files for skinning. If there is a difference between ts files and mkv containers I really do not know. Once you took a look it's probably best to see what works as expected and what not and we see further. Fully agree, it was the best media center ever, because simple, intuitive and just doing things as expected. I really hate the external configuration tools with hundreds of mostly useless options for some HTPC softwares. MP2 can be luckily fully configured in-GUI. Just for TV you need to use external tools in case the TVE3.x is used. But we also support TVMosaic, which can be configured by browser. I anyway recommend to use the latest installer, that is based on MP2.4.1, but new installation UX and the choise between the 3 different TV engines. [URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/mp2_2-4-1-mp2-672_custominstaller-zip.211174/[/URL] That's great. In this case skin modifications are no burden for you. Changing code should be also possible, but as it is quire complex it needs always some time to come into it. Most of the team members are hobby programers and the product survives only, if new people join the team. Unfortunately we are always lacking developers, because the market is moving towards small android devices and modern TV's include already many "smart" applications. The thing is, people hardly realize that "smart" means somebody wants to make money with the user behavior it and it's not really about making people's life easier. Regarding "drag and move" support I investigated a bit. The implementation is possibly rather easy with just updating the preview image in increments while the position is moved.
