For a media UI, it was remarkably confident in itself. “Hey, I know I’m not showing you immediately what you want to see right now, but just hang tight and look at the beautiful background while you navigate. Look at these elegant Frutiger metro icons. Listen to the hearty clicks the bar makes as you flip through the categories. Don’t worry, the joystick maps right onto the bar movement. You already know what you’re doing.”

Now it seems like UI’s are embarressed to be on the screen at all. “oh, uh, I bet you wanted to see a picture of your game right? Or… netflix? Or… The store or something? Umm. Let me just give you all of your options in an order I think will be your ‘favorite’”

Yeah. Adding new menu items looks complex, might require recompiling a custom retroarch build

debian? No. BSD? Maybe.

This is probably what I’ll end up doing, but then all the movies / tv / audio menus in kodi are just wasted space

My experience with kodi is that it’s over complicated, and not as robust as jellyfin. I would constantly nav into the wrong menu and the ui is clunky

Came here to say this

People I talk to find it useful for front-end development
