NMJ V2 Source Menu whats your opinion

[rane]

Colors: Ok
Icons: Bad
Layout: very bad

I havent read all posts in detail so far, but being a webdesigner myself I can partly understand the thinking behind designing this kinda layout. It's more modern and simplified which many ppl prefer nowadays BUT....it simply doesnt work in this case. What bothers me the most is columns with the icons of random size and placement. There's no logical hierachy at all. Icons arent very telling either.

If i were to design a NMJ GUI, i would go in the same direction as the UMJ, YAMJ and XBMC layouts. The primary goal IMO is to create a userfriendly GUI with as much information as possible without it getting cluttered - and here the above-mentioned layouts are doing SO much better than PCH are. I never liked the NMJ v1 flash jukebox either as it was too confusing as well, altho "smart and fancy" flash menus which often arent necessary.

IMO...instead of spending so much time on NMJ interface and other features...why not spend time on the most-missed feature/bug/whatever in the current PCH software: Automatic share-mounting so you can actually make custom movie jukeboxes work with MULTIPLE network shares? Im quite certain you dont have to spend many hours on fixing that thing since ive seen other users getting it to work inserting auto-mounting commands in some startup file. Because...whats the point of having a movie jukebox if you cant make it work with different multiple shares? This is my ONLY reason for not using any jukeboxes still.....:/
