Sluggish, and dark screen

Nothing to do with subs mate. If it is it's a major regression

This thread is about the Windows NextPVE.exe client and has nothing to do with the web server behaviour on x64 that you have an open thread on.  Troll like behaviour is not amusing.

Had more navigation issues.  Was typing them up when I decided to see if switching from classic to modern in the config file would bring the ESC nav back the way it was, and it seems to.

Something in the last update messed up using ESC to back out of the classic navigation.

So, how can I toggle the artwork off like it says in the comments?

Activate the hidden menu with the Home or Info remote button (or mouse over) and hit View. It will be set as default after that.

Subtitles keeps the last setting (on/off), so that's why it's on when we start most programs.

I just played around, and when you're watching a show, ESC takes you out and takes you to the show info, but further hits on ESC don't do anything, and I believe they used to.  But get out of that screen to the screen where all the shows are, and ESC takes you back to the menu.

So the sluggishness I referred to seems to be a disabling of ESC on that intermediate screen, and no easy way to get out further in the menu structure from that point, vs. a bogging down of the program. 

Could a recent change have done that?

I can go to menu, using the keyboard, and click on it, and that brings up the full listing of shows, but takes another hit on Menu to get to the side menu.  And, from the full listing of shows screen, ESC works fine.

I don't follow you. There shouldn't be any extra clicks required.

The old Recordings screen was broken into three separate screens, but from any point in those screens, it's the same number of keypresses or mouse clicks to get back to the menu. If you're in the recordings screen -> viewing a group of recordings -> viewing the details of an individual recordings, it's exact the same number of levels deep as it was in the old 'classic' menu layout.

If you don't like the artwork screen, you can click 'view' in the menu and get back to list mode, like used in past releases.

I'm not seeing any issues here, and as I said above, it's still exactly the same regarding ESC as the last release. The only difference is the grouped recordings list is now showing you pictures instead of works. If this was causing your machine to feel bogged down, maybe you're using a slow machine. There is no extra levels of screens you're using etc.

Just click 'view' in the menu.

Under Classic, I could watch a show, then hit stop (or esc).  Takes you back to previous screen.  The hit ESC button on remote or keyboard, and it takes you out a level to all Ready shows. That is now not working.  You sit on the screen showing all episodes of a show.

So I now hit right arrow to go to What's New, then left arrow to go to Ready list of all shows.

I have been using Classic, not Modern.

I'm pretty sure it's never worked that way. ie, if you clicked Recordings -> Friends -> played S06E03, then pressed ESC, it should take you back to Friends, with the same item selected, so that you can just press the down arrow and start the next show.

I classic mode I can duplicate this, play isn't needed

Select a recording from the recording list and hit ESC it doesn't work, you are stuck on a recording and you have to exit via the hidden menu.

Ok, you definitely did not do a good job describing that, but I can now see the issue you were trying to describe. We're no longer actively testing with the old classic mode, so just didn't notice it.

This updated dll should resolve the issue for you.
