HTPC Interface

(1/6) > >>

ndgame:
It would be nice if there was a complete overhaul for HTPC to catch up with other interfaces such as Plex, Kaelidscape, AppleTV and so on. 

I use JRiver 100% for the home theater to take advantage of MadVR.  My frustrations is the lack of skins and updates for my he poster wall, movie collections, and ISO movie playback support without the popup.   Most importantly is a new User interface that is easier to filter and search and categories for newly added content and so on.

The stock response to this sort of post is make some specific suggestions on how to improve things, generic "like some other app" comments basically go nowhere

ndgame:
Sorry I assumed everyone kinda knew what the newer interfaces look like.   I’m really requesting a whole face lift on HTPC.   

But to start here are 3 examples.

I have attached 3 examples of things that would be nice to have.  First you will see on the left a list of different libraries that I added such as 4k Movies, Family Movies, Movies, Holiday Movies and so on.

In another screenshot is an over all Main screen view that has things like Continue watching, Recently added to 4k Movies and this can be for all Libraries like you see in the screen shot.

In the 3rd screen shot when viewing a Library of movies you will see on the right side of the screenshot a bar that allows me to skip to movies that “start with A,B,C” and on and on.

I can add a lot more examples if needed for ideas.  But the basis would be to catch up with other players.  I would gladly pay a higher price of JRiver for it to be updated.

Gedeon:
I share that perception.

JRiver could be a good and versatile media manager with a flexible DLNA server and Zone management, some improvements here and there, but I wouldn't expect too much rehaul/renovation in the short or midterm.

These pics appear to be things you can basically do today, obviously UI differences in precise layout/fonts but functionality not obviously different. You are familiar with how to define remote views or not?
