But now the term “album” means something entirely different WRT music than it does WRT photos, and I, for one, not being a new user, find it inconsistent and less useful than having music and photo playlists on the same page. As I have said before, my typical usage is to start a music playlist, then a photo playlist, but now I have to remind myself that I have to jump through several more steps to do this than I did before, and, oh yeah, photo playlists aren’t playlists.
As for the “different page with a photo-friendly layout,” on the Roku apps (current stable release and the Beta), a photo “album” page is identical to a music “playlist” page, with the same layout and controls. There’s nothing unique about the Photo “album” page. So I’m not buying that explanation.
If there’s any reason (I can’t think of one) to separate music, video, and photo playlists from one another, I provided a mock-up earlier in this thread showing a much simpler and more consistent way of doing so without making it harder to get to them.
I can see you’ve put a lot of work into redesigning the product. It’s a shame that your work has been wasted because you’ve made the product less convenient to use.
I reiterate my request to restore photo playlists to the Playlist page, in the interest of better usability.
