Beta 7, running on windows 8.1, navigating with a mouse.

This is my first experience with Estuary. Overall it seems to be fine but there are issues here and there.

1. When I use it as a DLNA client, say, using it for playing videos on another Kodi installation on another computer, I cannot access the video controls at all, meaning I cannot pause, stop or seek the video and have to go to the other computer.

2. The fly-out options menu that appears on the left side of the screen, disappears as soon as I move the mouse. I cannot access the controls unless I move the mouse really fast and basically catch them before they go off screen.


P.S. This one is actually a feature request. It took me a while to find out how to go back in menus. I have to either right-click (usually in an empty space) or click on the top-left corner. They work mostly fine but IMO, a simple Back button somewhere in the UI would be a better option sometimes.

I installed the nightly 20161225-f4e69a4 on a second system, a windows 7 laptop.

Haven't tried DLNA client playback to see if I can access the playback controls yet, but the left-side options menu bug is still there.

After working with the skin a bit more, I think besides a proper Back button, a Home button is also in order.

I found new bugs:

3. Vertical scrolling with a mouse is very unreliable. I tested it in the TV shows page (not the sub-page but on homescreen itself. The one that shows up after you hover over "TV shows"). It seems that vertical scrolling works (although still not fully) only if the mouse cursor is at the very edge of top and bottom of the screen.

4. In "Interface settings -> Skin -> Configure skin... -> Main menu items...", I cannot open/access any of the "-Edit categories..." options, either by clicking or with the Enter key.

Ok, I didn't know that you need Library Node Editor to edit categories and Kodi itself did not warn me at all. I learned this only after installing the latest 20161227-052e7a8 nightly, which warns users if Library Node Editor is not installed. So it wasn't really a bug. Scratch one off.
