[QUOTE="Mars Warrior, post: 6198, member: 10351"] [b]Usability[/b] = Integrate the Configuration into MP itself. - nice for first-time users and first-time setup - avoid the going back-and-forth between configuration and MP - fully configurable using remote - able to change things (like adding paths for music/video) run-time = Make the configuration part more intelligent - if user enters TV, if no TV defined and TV cards found, enter TV configuration wizard, or give error and ask user if configuration wanted - same for Radio - auto-configuration option for TV/Radio. Configuration will search for installed cards, country and codecs and configure them. The choosen codecs should have some priority in the sense that MP chooses the best codecs for use in MP = Add more support per country out-of-the-box - XMLTV or any other program to fetch the EPG = Migration support for database contents - tv export/import - radio export/import - general setup (music/video) export/import = Even better: upgrade possibility which retains all settings... = Add the manual (PDF??) in the setup, so after installation users do have a very nice manual which the MUST read before asking questions... [b]Performance[/b] = No extra comments on points already described by Frodo, except: - should we compare with other software, I mean in the forum there are many discussions about MP being slow compared to other HTPC applications, but those are different, don't use DX9 etc?!?!?! - do we need a reference system to be able to compare the performance gain over every improvement???? [b]Stability[/b] = Which parts are unstable now??? - In other words which parts should be focussed on? - code reviews by some developers?? - would need guidelines on how-to-make-c#-code-more-stable (use of exception handling and what to do...) - the use of FxCop as this might reveal some bad-practices regarding performance, stability and security (besides all the naming stuff). PS. Will add more in this posting if thinking of more things ;) [/QUOTE]
