Message: <blockquote data-quote="HappyTalk" data-source="post: 554543" data-attributes="member: 22671">I think the tv server and client config pages are more worthy of a rethink. Take TV Channels setup on the tv server there are 4 different tabs, one selects channels shown, one selects whats shown on the epg, one selects whats shown on each card, one selects whats shown in a group. They conflict with each other and make no sense. All you need is a single tab where you can see all channels (with an epg checkbox) and add/remove them from groups as desired. I just spent 4 hours fiddling with this yesterday when adding a new card when it finally dawned on me the only sensible useage was to bypass the madness and ONLY use the groups tab, ensuring on the other tabs all channels are assigned to their cards, with epg on for all and let the groups do the filtering out of unwanted stuff (oh and don't edit or use the 'All Channels' group as it resets itself). Also I couldn't see how to access my 'radio groups' in MP, as on tv you do it via the epg, but I just remembered you need to click the 2 dots (parent folder)?Another bugbear is the music plugin config, I gave up doing any config and now just use it as a simple file explorer for my music well organised into folders. If I had the time/energy I would construct a single media plugin from whence all music/photos/videos could be launched. I tend to have photos and videos from my cameraphone in single dated folders. I have to switch from the photos to video plug and back to view them all.why is the volume control not visible WHENEVER it is clicked?Lots of configuration options are good if they help, but I think they just clutter and confuse and most could be simplified with no loss of flexibility. Too many ways to try and do the same thing, none of which quite manages it. I believe there is ALWAYS a best way that solves a problem better for 99.9% of people. Adding really good defaults helps as well.</blockquote>
