[QUOTE="dir, post: 1049660, member: 24485"] Ah, this wasn't clear and likely won't be to most new users. Someone in another thread explained how to change this and now I can see my movies. I'd suggest that the initial view for new users be set to something visually appealing and relevant, and not a listing of genre folders. Yes, but it took years for MyVideos to be updated. I don't think users are going to patiently put up with an inferior htpc app for years in the hopes that eventually, someone might update it to something that's already been available for years in xbmc, MP1, and future competing apps... That's an ideal world for developers but not something most end users are willing to do. MP2 developers need to reach out to users and find ways to solicit feedback so that the final product appeals to the user, not to the logical introspection of the developers. And you can't ask users to speak your language, either. The danger with apps like MP is that they are designed by technical people who live in a technical bubble - even the forums consist mainly of technical people (even end users of MP have to be highly technical). The app can never appeal to a broader audience because nobody in the bubble notices that people outside the bubble aren't paying attention. [edit: updated post-reflection] [/QUOTE]
