> Not sure I really see the point of this, it was removed from the mythui
ported version for a reason.
And that reason was?
-Too many options for the user. We should eliminate what we deem as
unnecessary and force (possibly unwanted) functionality down their
throats.
- The Code is too fat, and a lines is a lines no matter how small.
- Your explanation here.
I used to think the goal of a Mythfrontend box would be $100 for a small
silent HD capable device. Thanks to VDPAU that is achievable now. I have
lowered my goal to $50. Such a device is often diskless and uses a read-
only root file system. It takes over ten seconds to generate thumbnails
that aren't already cached, and in the system I described, the cache is
eliminated every power cycle. This makes parts of the gui unresponsive and
irritating. Forcing eye candy on the user at the expense of unresponsive
irritating performance smells of MicroSoft mentality. Just my opinion.
Anyway, if your going to remove it, then the themes shouldn't still have
the check boxes.
