I love Kodi but the User Interface is just horrible and my wife is always struggling due to bad user experience.
it is so good that there seems to be improvements on the estuary skill which is the only skill that is somehow working for TV and EPG consumption.
I would love to see some improvements with respect of TV and the EPG
1. provide the option to increase the font size of the PVR and reduce the number of lines in the horizontal EPG. EPG is not readable useless you have very good eye sight or sit very closely to the TV.
I regard the UI for EPG almost as discriminating e.g. only for the young healthy guys having egle's eyes ...
2. Use the screen estate more wisely.
a. EPG: OPTION field at the bottom. Almost not used but limiting but space right of it. This space could be used for expanding the text of the show description down to the bottom. This space is always too short and text begins scrolling before I have read it completely.
b. EPG: and because "2a" the show description is not readable I have to click on the TV show. But then the show description is displayed in a super small text field which is too small to display the complete description. So I have to navigate to this window. This is so utterly stupid and drives me crazy ...
3. Managing the recorded show. Deleting a show take much too much clicks and user has to fiddle around with (senseless) options. It would be super desirable if the context menu could be customizable giving the user the ability to remove the "clutter" like marked as seen, Artwork options ....
Also it would be great if the confirmation screen to delete a show would show as default "yes".
4. On my Mac I discovered by chance that I could get rid of the channel group selector on top of the EPG by clicking on OPTION and selection "ALL". I immediately rushed to my FireTV and tried to do the same but channel selector did not vanish. This none- removable channel group selector it really a big pain in the ass because my family members click on it and keep wondering why channels are missing.
Please, please provide the option to delete this channel group selector.
Update: I have created screenshots but somehow did not manage to get then into this forum.
Therefore I have created a link to Google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1...sp=sharing
