Config menu inside of gbpvr

[wtg]

It'd really be nice if some of the configuration items that aren't related to the recording service could be changed from inside gbpvr.

Specifically, I'd love to be able to do the following, ranked according to my personal priority:

• Switch decoders - for testing differences quickly
  
• Change skins
  
• Update EPG - I know you can do this from tray icon, but not without grabbing a keyboard or mouse
  
• Add/update video and music libraries
  
• Various other settings - FF/Rew, skip settings, net radio buffer, etc.
  
• Change plugin settings - which probably requires API change to force re-init of plugin - a lot to ask, I know
  

It's nice that we have all the options we do in the config utility, but it's a very slow process if you have much config testing to do, like testing decoders. Also, any change means you have to grab the keyboard/mouse, which for those of us that have the pvr in our family rooms tucked out of sight and a TV as the only monitor, it's an additional pain.

Thanks,
Tim

Whats with have a task with the Option -OnlyUpdateEPG defined inside the gbpvr ?

yeah i would like to see this too, i think jorm or jeff started working on a settings plugin but i dont know what came of it.

the change folders etc might be a little tricky, have to design a control that can be operated by a remote.

sub may be needed to add this feature, just adding a new interface maybe...
