https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=98934.0
The missing piece in MC is that there is no way to add additional filters (ex: ratings) after the expansion and sorting of the artists.

I finally figured out how to make this work, though it is not an ideal solution. I created a new custom library expression field and called it "Artist Favorites":
If(And(isequal(isrange([Rating], 3-5), 1, 1),isequal([Live], ), 1), [Artist],0)
This incorporates two additional layers of filtering for me after limiting the files to one per artist in the smartlist (rating greater than 2 and another customer field identifying if the file is a live version).
The smartlist uses the new "Artist Favorites" field to expand the list rather than just simply using the [artist] field. This is how the smartlist code turned out:
[Media Type]=[Audio] [Rating]=>2 -[Live]=[Yes] ~limit=-1,1,[artist] ~expand="artist favorites" ~seq ~sort=Random ~limit=-1,4,[artist] ~sort=[Sequence]
If JRiver could find a way to add additional filters in the smartlist wizard after limiting, this would be even easier!

MC 27 is rolling out to us users and I thank the JRiver Crew for that.
But is it ever going to be possible in theater grid view to select an individual artist, producer, director, genre, etc (that has many individual entries) and from there drill down in the database and see more movies from the selected artist, genre and so on?
I get the reasoning that MC is database first and it is up to the knowledgeable members of the forum to better the GUI in Theater view but not being able to drill down into the MC database from our main Theater grid view is severely limiting the fun we could have.
I find myself together with family often times wanting to know more regarding an certain actor, after we have watched a movie from our sofa, and having to, in Theater view, go up in hierarchy and switch over to Actors alphabetical grid view and then select the first letter of the actor and then scroll down to the actor before we could see more movies that that certain actor have been in is way to many steps and dampening the excitement of freely exploring the MC Database.
I have kept my hopes up for quite many years now, hoping that the next version will focus on Theater View database excitement.
Again thank you for a superb product and I will continue to support MC as it has way more pros than cons!

I'd like to make a request: Touch controls when playing a video.
I use a Surface and while it's great for everything, even navigating Media Center in theater mode, when an actual video is playing, it falls apart. You have to tap the top of the screen and then use the teeny controls, that while great with a mouse, aren't with a finger, especially when trying to jump through a video file.
It would be great to be able to tap the screen and have it pause. Or drag left and right to scrub through the timeline a bit. or swipe up and down to control volume. Kind of like many other players do.
Even if the simplest thing would be to give an option to 'enable touch' and then when you tap on the screen you get larger buttons to easily pause, play, jump around on the timeline, when you're in full screen mode for theatre (or however is easier to implement).

OSD could use some facelift and I remember that Hendrik mentioned that he was working on with something on that department. One idea which I have written before would be enabling tooltip engine to be used for OSD now playing info screen. Created also a quick OSD mockup image as an example how it could look like compared to current OSD. I'm thinking that central area could be user modified with expression language for different media types

great mockup and great idea

Ability to hide/unhide views displayed by a client.
Currently, clients can hide/unhide zones.
I would like similar functionality to be considered for the views.
