I think that's a fair point and one where Freevo could potentially steal a march on others. If there was a lower barrier to entry to getting a Freevo based setup up and running we would attract a wider user base and hopefully in turn more developers.
I know there was some movement on this in the past and a very rough config editor was built into the web server but if someone could take up that challenge it would be a big plus. You wouldn't need detailed knowledge of Freevo's code. Just enough python to parse and write the config file, maybe split it into multiple smaller configs each focusing on one area for e.g. TV config, audio, games etc. I'm sure the other developers would have some pointers on how best to approach this. Any takers?
