Hey everybody.
We're rolling out some big changes with the organization of the web admin. We're cleaning house and trying to clean some things up for the future. It's a big change, so bear with us.
Settings
For almost 7 years, the home page of the web admin has been ALL OF THE SETTINGS for Channels DVR Server.
This stemmed from original development, as it was easier for us to get to all of the settings while working on the project. 7 years later and it never got re-organized.
Well today is the day. Today is the day we put our settings in the Settings section like....every other app in known existence 
Settings in Sections
Settings are now broken up into their own sections to make it a little easier to find them and be a bit less...overwhelming.
Client Settings now lives in Settings and has been removed from the main navigation.
You can find system information and the software updater under About.
Sources
You can now manage your sources, Live TV and Personal Media, all in a single place. You can find them now under Sources in Settings.
Home Page
So what will the home page show? We're mimicking the Library view in Channels to show a snapshot of your Library. It shows Up Next, Recently Updated Shows, and Recently Added Movies.
Onboarding
The other big change is our onboarding. We've tightened up and made it a bit more friendly when setting up Channels DVR Server for the first time.
If you have the time or means, please try working through it to see how it works and if there are any bugs with it.
OMG TOO MUCH CHANGE
We're totally empathetic with how much change this is. We understand that this means things that took no clicks to do, now take many more clicks.
We also understand that having the software updating and other system information, like activity, was very nice to have directly on the home page. Having them buried in Settings is not that great.
The good news is, none of this is final. While this IS the direction we'll be moving in, if you've been around a while then you'll know that this is going out unfinished to get some feedback.
We could brainstorm in private all day on how to solve the problems these changes are causing, but we'd rather include all of you.
Help!
So, we're looking for all feedback. What is great? What is horrible? What is completely ruined for you now?
We like to improve things based on reality, not just made up ideas. We think the best way to figure out solutions to big problems is to actually live with a little pain. This is the best way to learn exactly what needs solving, and to hopefully come up with creative ways to do so.
So let's do it together and we'll get everything nice and tight and feeling great.
