This case is different. I was thinking the same thing until I tried it at home with my CEN-IDOCV ATC-AMFM and ATC-AUDIONET.
The smart object dynamically changes based on the device you connect to. I use the same object for all my Crestron sources and it works flawlessly plus extends the pandora functionality to be able to add stations on the fly.
IMO well done to the Crestron engineers!

Is this not the same story for any module that a manufacturer tries to make to cover a large range of products. I understand why Crestron has to make something like this but it just never really matches up with the devices perfectly and now that they have clamped down the the development environment we can't customize it.

I used the Media Player object for the first time last month, with several TSW
panels, a couple of DGE-2's, and an X-Panel. We used it with an IDOC and
CEN-TRACK (AM, FM, XM, and AUDIONET).
Some of the features were nice, but I REALLY disliked not being able to change
(easily) simple things like object & font sizes, placement, and even button
labels.
It was also VERY SLOW to startup. I don't know if that was because we were
using multiple sources, or if that's just how it is, but it was noticeable and
annoying. Overall I wasn't impressed, and will continue to use "the old way"
for those sources unless someone specifically requests the Media Player, or it
gets a lot better.

Have any of y'all used this in a production environment?
I'm looking for opinions on its use, particularly with an iDoc and
Audionet.
