HTPC Interface

fiske:
I do agree that it would be very nice to have an overhaul of the user interface.
It looks dated compared to others.
The inside work is fantastic.
Just my 2cent

It's been asked for over and over, when every new release cycle comes around. Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect a complete overhaul in this lifetime. I think the closest we will ever get is the addition of Custom Tooltips for casual users (like me) who can't program their way out of a brown bag:

I use a user created theme exclusively in order to get the appearance to be more modern.  As a user, I don't want to spend 100+ hours learning XML tweaks and making icon sets to theme JRiver, I just think that part of the product design should be keeping up with modern design aesthetics.  Many of the included skins should probably be retired.

JimH:
You're spinning your wheels unless you can be more specific without using "modern" or "dated".

Asking for a complete re-write is also pointless.

Or giving another program as an example of what you want.

If we did a major overhaul, we'd probably upset half our customer base.

So, make just one specific suggestion that would improve the experience. 

Gedeon:
Create a new web remote interface beyond cpanel. With the mid-term goal to replicate through it most media management and audio playing available features in the standard interface.
- Selecting, sorting and creating lists
- Editing metadata,
- Control Zones,
- Edit DSP chain,
- Allow skin change,

Just take a look at Emby, Gerbera, Plex, Jellyfin.. HEOS mobile interface... Not everything must be available the first iteration. Just plan the development in several stages.

Most media servers/players in the market have left aside the native interfaces, and have developed web management interfaces. Even qBittorrent and eMule have pretty functional web interface years ago.
