My 2 Cents on why I don't like the separation of app and config.1. I want a replacement for my set-top box. No set-top box requires a keyboard to update the channel list. (tv-server config app)2. I want to add a path to be able to watch or listen to a file. It's not reasonable to have to shut down mp, go fetch a keyboard, start a new app (mp config) change the setting, start MP, put the keyboard away again. There might be a better way for this but as far as I know XBMC rocks on this pointThis isn't userfriendly and if we want MP to be more than a geeks product it has to be userfriendly.The test I use to eval diffrent HTPC softwares is to compare them with a ordinary set-top box. There is no reason why it should be harder to configure MP than the set-top box. Installation is another matter but config isn't.
