Introduction:

Mediaportal configuration has 2 modes, 'standard mode' vs. 'expert mode'

I think a lot of additional settings could be removed from 'standard mode'

This would make things much simplier for new users, as the current amount of options is overwhelming

Ideally the whole configruration should be redesigned from scratch with a wizard approach, however this would be a very big task, so I present a simpler method of making configuration easier for new users, by just removing a lot more of the settings from 'standard mode'

... Other screens could be simplified too, but not much point in doing mock-ups until someone from the team is interested in doing this ...
