Please bring old UI back

bl00dymary It had not only a way better menu navigation (option menu was a seperate tab, so we had control for playback and options at the same time and shows what vales where changed by how much...)
it also was WAY FASTER.

I agree with this. I prefer the old UI's playback options too. I toggle the playback speed and zoom quite often. It was one of my favorite things about Deo/SLR. It was right there, front and center.

Now, every time I want to make an adjustment, I have to click to a secondary menu. It's not optimal, and my boner loses precious seconds while I fumble around =)

SLR: Please revise the way playback speed, and zoom are handled. Please put it back to the main / first menu.

Thanks!

g2kbuffetboy Design team is reconsidering it. Updates are coming.

Otherwise feel free to program your controller

Rakly3 We had multiple debates over it.

We can't stop the innovation from prohibiting to change things. I believe we can work things out on that. Any suggestions that help us to get the point are really appreciated.

My strongest argument in favor of design is that everything could be programmed with controllers.

Honestly that is just human nature, humans just don´t like to adjust to new things ans want to keep everything as they are used to.

Although I have to say, many things of the new UI are just objectively worse, if you need more steps to achieve the same thing you need to justify with some gains elsewhere, like getting a simpler less cluttered UI.
But the new UI is actually worse in all ends, some things are hidden behind several steps, and instead of making it simpler and less cluttered in the front it actually is way cluttered and so big you can not even recognize everything at first glance, so in the end we got it worse on all ends.

I actually wasn't aware I could do this! I will try this tonight and report back.

I will say I think the chapter points for all the diff positions (cowgirl, doggy, etc) is REALLY slick.

I don't want to get too off topic, but is there any way that you can incorporate the screenshots (trickplay) when hovering the playhead over the timeline for offline downloads as well? When I stream via SLR, I like how it shows the preview image.

This is similar to using hotkeys on a keyboard vs clicking buttons on a UI with a mouse. Hotkeys are way more efficient if you've bothered to learn the mappings but there will always be a huge number of people that don't use them and prefer to click buttons instead.

I can think of a combos to get the best view for some positions I guess. We can have those in presets and activate with a button or controller mapping. Let me think about it.

I don't see any features coming for the local playback as it's a hell of work and most don't even appreciate it.

Howdy friend. =)

Okay, so I tried mapping the playback speed adjustments last night to my Xbox controller (I use SLR app on PC), There are two issues with this:

1. The playback speed does not change by 25/50/75% increments like before. It changes as much as decimal points and not by increments but by the length of time (in milliseconds) the button is depressed. It's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get it back to 100%. And there is no reset button. Say I want to see just a few parts in slow mo, and then I want to revert back to normal playback. At this point, I still have to open up the secondary menu, change the playback speed, go back to the normal menu and then continue on. It's very frustrating.
2. The control mapping does not work in local playback mode. When pressing the same buttons on the controller that I programmed, nothing happens...

In other words, I'm still SOL =(

Rakly3 of course not No one that actually uses the site on their phone had anything to do with the mobile version of the site - app is the same way. It’s probably all outsourced anyhow.

Hey blaze466
Info the round button left of the player. Should include some pictures too now
Playlists you have on the right.

Thanks for all your reply guys. Due to small team and unity limitations we can't always push things through how we want them to. The player is not in it's final stage and there will be more updates in the following weeks/months.

We'll make sure easier access to playback/zoom is on top of that list

[deleted] it's important to get things going and fix on the fly.
