NEW: Improved OSD
Matt:
jmone, maybe you could teach your family to use the existing OSD. It's really pretty simple, and it works the same for all types of media.
Try it for a couple months.
After that, if you still feel strongly that it's too complicated, let's talk again.

I liked my off topic issues. So they're exempt. ;) ;D
jmone:
Matt - will do and I'll report back how they go.
MrH - it is on topic. Matts very first post in this thread was in response (and reference) to my feature request thread for a DVD style Menu.

It might very well be. But it's pretty obvious that it's not the goal of this thread, and JRiver. It's about Improving the current one. It even say so in the thread name. Even though a full menu was introduced, it would probably not replace the current one, but rather be an addition. Why would they kill a function that users are so used to, and that's been part of MC for so many years? So why try to fill up a thread with thing's that will bring you nowhere, instead of actually making the current OSD the best possible? We're just going to end up with an un-polished OSD, and you'll be no closer to a full screen menu.
On topic:
I think the current implementation of the OSD is sort of Ok. But not more than that. Again, I do not have subs on my test video files here, but I hope that Subs and Audio are another group than settings. Otherwise it would be to much settings in one place I think. I think that the Underlining on the selected items looks really old. Please remove it. It caught my eye immediately and I disliked it just as fast. I also think that the down arrow should activate the currently selected menu item. switching to the Ok/Enter button is just a awkward and unnecessary step.
I still stand by my suggestion of using rollers on this OSD. It would be pretty intuitive for those that are used to Theater View, and it could work very well for touch as well. It would give you a superb overview of the possible options and how to activate them. And it could let us get rid of that misplaced top progress bar.

MrH - happy to disagree but you will now see little posts from me on this as I've been put in my box by Matt for a couple of months.
