XUL Interface

Just a suggestion I think mediacoder could benefit from changing the current gui into a XUL based gui. one user in paticular seemed to have a bug in his mediacoder (Can't say what version/Build) but it would hopefully bring an end to the need of using firefox as it could use gecko as it's engine for settings and what not

(Don't shoot the messenger this is only a suggestion)

It's my plan to write the GUI from scratch based on XUL. But I'm still learn about XUL in the progress of improving XULPlayer. Once I'm ready or someone wants to offer me help, I will do it.
I think the native GUI should still be kept as an option, as some users will prefer it as it consumes less memory.

Not only that it may eliminate some of the need for firefox

XUL-based application depends on XULRunner, which is almost the foundation of Firefox.

uhmm thats not what I was talking about Stan. I meant Firefox the program not XULRunner

I know all that. I've been playing around with firefox for some time now (and songbird too

Great media player that looks like itunes but surfs the web too)
