General feedback to the MQ 8:
I tried to work with newer MQ 9 for long time.
Problem in my case using MQ 9 on Kodi/ZDMC z1000 was, that it was too slow.
If you open e.g. an overview of you playlists or open the season overview of a tv show/series the was shown nothing; only the backgound photo was shown.
I had to random click or tried with "esc" to leave the screen. After around 1 minute the view changed back to main menu. Then I went after this again
to the views the data/files was shown.
This was the behavior to all menus and sub menus.
I invested a lot of time to solve this problem e.g. switch from SMB to NFS, testing faster storage devices, several new new installs of Kodi and the MQ 9 skin.
Nothing helped on the end.
Two days ago I installed the older MQ 7 and the older MQ 8 skin.
Result: both works as it should be. The items (above described) are mostly shown directly.
The performance of MQ 8 is a little bit better. So I stay now with the MQ 8 skin.
On the end the use and view of the sub menus on MQ 7 and MQ 8 are better structured and much more family friendly in using Kodi.
Many thanks for that (old) skin.
I hope, the MQ 8 works further for a while in the future.
