so, this goes to the home menu on the Controller but to the settings menu for Fab4? Makes sense, but currently we don't do anything platform-dependent in organizing our menus. Not sure how that should work.

pushing to Richard for comment.

Yes, we'll need to customize on a per-platform basis.

Do you need Richard to fix this?

We'll definitely need per-platform defaults.   Let's do the following:

move choose player to the top level settings menu.

Default it on in the home menu for Controller (for now) and off for Fab4.

Pushing to Richard, who is typically against what-platform-am-I-on queries in Squeezeplay.

IMO, the only avenue for this right now is 

if player:isLocal() then
   -- put menu item in settings
else
   -- put menu item on home menu
end

but then that also includes a selected "controller as player" as well as desktop SP. I don't think that's an exact fix for this bug.

Fixed already.
