I'm fairly new to Media portal. I am building a HTPC which has a touchscreen in the case and find the main scrolling menu incredibly difficult to control with the mouse let alone the touch. I spent some time last night ripping apart the home.xml, but it seems to reference menu as a type. Is the type what defines the scrolling action? I couldn't seem to stop it from scrolling. Is there any other options out there to help with this issue? I did some searching and there seems to be very little discussion on this subject. One or two people have had similar complaints, but no resolutions.
I've thought about trying to add buttons to control the scroll, then just tap the selection, but if the thing is sensative, when I touch if I'm not right on it will start to scroll and select the next item. It seems like there should be an alternative to the single item in the middle of the list being the "hot spot." What I would love to see is the menu is a button for each of the items visible, and when you touch above or below the list it will scroll in the direction. It would still work the same with the remote, and I think that would be easier nav for a mouse as well.
Any suggestions or directions are greatly appreciated! I really want to use MP, but at this point it is just impossible to navigate.
