Server Version#: 1.27.1.5916 Player Version#: 1.19.1.3076 I love the new htpc app! Just one small complaint: There’s no real support for mouse control. Scrolling doesn’t work, and going a step back (like using the esc-key in a menu) is impossible without keyboard. I’m using a mouse 99% of the ti…

Why are you arguing against adding mouse support? Nobody forces you to use it, if it gets implemented.

A good question, why does anybody argue against improvements to a product which are being requested by numerous users, similar to why developers develop an app specifically for a desktop app (not a phone or other mobile device) without supporting mouse control. Generally speaking, people who have a…

So create a thread for a feature request and put it to the vote. Where are the numerous users wanting full mouse control over a HTPC app designed for a 10 foot interface ? Are you talking about this thread ? I’m not against feature development that benefits users as long as those features don’t ab…

So far there’s one reply stating the obvious, and one user arguing like I offended him personally.

As I replied, wrong answer, to a question that was not asked. Did you not read the email I posted singing the praises of the new HTPC player? IT just does not deliver.

Since PMP died many people have been after a replacement. In your own words: [image] JohnAlex: I’m not against feature development that benefits users as long as those features don’t absorb developer time more suited to features that are needed by a majority. Core functions and issues that sti…

[image] shag00: but it is an abject failure. Which ? PMP, Plex HTPC or mouse control ? Plex HTPC has had development issues and I’ve moved from it to PMP and even Infuse/Emby/Kodi etc but back using Plex HTPC and without issue. I use a combination of my 650 and the K400+. I don’t see a nee…

[image] max06: Oh, almost forgot, I never asked about priority. Or mentioned the numerous users. I just asked, quite politely imo, for an improvement. Fair comment and apologies for going on a rant in reply. Plex HTPC has been a miracle to survive the onslaught from media players (it did die…
