[QUOTE="patricon, post: 179543, member: 52492"] "...a HTPC software without TV support is next to useless.." watching pictures, playing games, watching videos, reading news, listening music, chat with other people, etc... are all of this useless? TV is only another feature into the HTPC software... i do not watch TV, but i use all other functions. But what i want to mean is that TV features shouldn't be posted as bugs into Mp main bug tracking system, that bugs should be posted as bugs in TV plugin mantained by another team... Because the tv plugin is eating all resources in MP project and the user interface should be enhaced a lot... This is the way as i see the mp project. A user interface, an environment that provides methods to install and manage many plugins and each plugin mantained by the author of that plugin... read this post as example: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/why_think_im_switching_back_media_center-t27797.html?t=27797[/url] i think that it's what a lot of users are thinking. And i think that developers should take note of what users are thinking and/or suggesting. The most important think in a program like MP is THE INTERFACE, THE USER EXPERIENCE.... it's better to have less features but all working fine, that to have a lot of powerful features but a permanent feel that something is going bad.
