back to the point

Wow, it seems that my original post has caused quite a stir! :shock:

Some interesting points have been raised which I would like to comment:

- first of all, this is not whining but giving opinions on free, open-source software and that's the beauty of it. If this was some big corporation you could be almost sure that your complaints will hardly have any effect. But as this is open-source on a smaller scale, we can speak directly to the developers and get instant feedback (just don't take it personally :wink: we all want to improve MP not bash it). That being said, it is a lot more easy just to complain about things than giving actual solutions/suggestions to the problems; I agree that the people who complain should also take the time to give their opinion on how to actually solve it (myself included! )

- MP, as it looks like right now, is a very accessible front-end; I am really looking forward to the next releases! The user-friendly aspect of it can be improved at some points but it is already impressive. Making it more user-friendly doesn't mean making it simpler or more complicated, to me it means more usable and practical, and we all want that right?

- In that sense, and that's the original point for this post, the TV scheduling is not very intuitive and furthermore not very practical when used with a remote. That's just my opinion, I don't want the developer of that portion to get mad at me.

Peace!
