First off, please forgive me if this feature has already been asked for, or if it is somehow just too crazy...
I was thinking the other night that XBMC is as we all know the best out there. And the user base is probably millions EASILY.
I'd also put my money on it that not so many people help by reporting a problem or bug. I am sure that not a whole lot of people know how, or would be willing to invest time on figuring it out.
What if XBMC had built in capability of fetching the xbmc.log and the OS's log and submitting it with a short description of that users problem, all within the GUI.
EXAMPLE- My system has failed to play a certain video file that used to work no problem... I go to settings then find the option "Submit Feedback" or something like that. A prompt comes up asking if the problem occured during this session (Yes/No?) I select Yes, then another prompt appears asking to summarize the problem I experienced. I do that, and I am done. XBMC sends that message along with the appropriate logs automagically.
Please let me know if that is doable. I know devs would surely like the idea.
