Mezzmo Roku App Wish List

[ftanner]

• Folder icons that are either theme-able or use the same images that are displayed in the Mezzmo Windows application.
• When scanning large folders, display a percent complete or some other sort of status indicator rather than just "Loading..."
• Cache items in large folders to make folder scanning quicker.
• Make visual displays, such as progress bars and text, more polished rather than just flat displays.

Thanks for the suggestions, we will investigate making changes for the loading display and caching the folders. Can you give an example of the visual displays that need polishing, flat text and progress bars are used in most modern designs now instead of gradients or 3d effects.

Just because they're used doesn't mean that they look good....hehehe When you have a 1080p TV and higher, you don't want an interface that looks like it was designed by PlaySkool. Microsoft started that whole silly "flat" interface with Office 2013 and Windows 8.

By an example, I just mean something more polished and nice looking. Even something like this would be better than the flat design...

Maybe have a setting for toggling between a more "refined" (aka polished) look and "flat" look.

Understand, thanks for the example.

Additional wish....

When you are in a playlist and select the Search function, make it so that it searches that playlist instead of every item. As an example, when I am in a movies playlist, it searches every video instead of just the ones in that playlist.

Additional wish....

Fix the on-screen keyboard. It's appearance is broken in both the "release" version and the beta version of the Roku app.

[Peter]

Can you tell us more about how it is broken so we can try to reproduce this here?

The grid for the keys doesn't line up with the letters when you click the search. I will take a picture of what I am seeing when I get home from work tomorrow.

Understand, there are 3 templates Roku provides and we are using the HD template. If you have an UltraHD Roku box then it might be that the HD template is too small.

I have the Roku Ultra definitely, but it's running on a 1080p TV at the moment. The interesting part is that when I use the on-screen for built in stuff, like the WiFi password config and what-not, it displays correctly. I guess it's auto-detecting screen size and switching keyboards.
