Calm before the storm? For me it is a very good improvement on the MC OSD and I find it much easier to navigate and select the features I want with much less keying errors. Well done.

:) Still an Epic Fail! ...and not because the changes are not good, they are just not what I want.
I love this cartoon. I'm very aware that as the "customer" (OP) you have to explain it well, and I think I've done this over and over.....
- .... all I want is a Tyre Swing (a DVD Style full OSD that works for BD and Video Files as it does now for DVDs).
- .... Matt's worked on a bunch of changes on the Bench Swing (MC's OSD) making it better
- .... while that's nice ... I'm not asking for a new an improved Bench Swing (the MC OSD) ... I want a Tyre Swing (DVD Style OSD).
Thanks
Nathan
PS - The great thing about JR is that you don't suffer from the issues in many of these other boxes (like installation, billing, and support).

Ok - I'll have one more crack at explaining the Tyre Swing I want (and the others we already have in MC). We actually already have 3 Swings / Menus options supported by MC (see the table pic).
* Swing One: PC List Style (the right click one): works with all video sources + give access to allow Playback Selection & Playback Settings / Controls: ;D All good to me, No Change
* Swing Two: MC's OSD (the one Matt has been refining): works with all video sources + give access to allow Playback Selection & Playback Settings / Controls: ;D Nice set of improvements but it is refining some other type of swing
* Tyre Swing: DVD DSD (the Tyre Swing I'm After): currently only works for DVD + only gives access to allow Playback Selection (no Playback Settings / Controls): I'd like to have this Already Supported Menu type expanded from DVD to all video sources (eg BD and Files).
Thanks

Matt,
Remember. This is the guy who designed the chicken coop that fed the neighborhood dingos.

I'm with you, Nathan. I don't really understand the reluctance to do this. It seems a no brainier. I have nothing against the current OSD for access to other technical options but I rarely use it. I would use a DVD type menu frequently for changing streams, selecting chapters etc.
Nick.

:) So True (well it was a Labrador that had pinned down one of the Chooks and was "licking" it like a lollypop - all lived to fight another day but it was touch and go for the dog!)
... but that is why in the cartoon I'm just the first and the last box on the feature requester and final acceptance, and why the "Epic Fail" comment as the two just don't match (and the reason I don't work for JR, you get to do all the "tough" stuff including design between these two points!
