I took some ambien so I am not entirely sure if my idea will be conveyed well but fundamentally an option that could be selected in system settings to turn on this idea would be excellent.

The idea is simple and probably been suggested before, I am the king of doing that.

Anyway

running the boxee-like theme (which is amazing btw) my menu consists of

• Weather graphic
  
• Videos
  
• Music
  
• Pictures
  
• Favourites
  
• Weather
  
• Extras
  

The option would force a different type of structure onto it

• Weather graphic can stay
  
• Channels
  
• Movies
  
• Television
  
• Music
  
• Apps
  

Movies, Television and Music are parsed based on one of the top names in the shared item.
/library/television
/library/movies
/library/music
One extra stipulation would be that I think it would be very good if there was an ability to change all of your icons to 200x200 or 300x300 or whatever is best and have a system in place to have xbmc automatically sense it.

/library/music/artist.album.song.name.jazz.rendition.year.mp3
/library/music/artist.album.song.name.cover.year.mp3
/library/music/artist.album.song.name.xbmc.year.mp3
/library/music/artist.album.song.name.no.year.mp3

Channels
Channels is an RSS feed that handled multiple feeds with a name and icon you can select (and somehow make it so you can install a feed complete with icon from a website?)

the channel pops up like a TV guide
___________________________________________________
[CHAN 2]__Clip____|_______Episode____________________|
[CHAN 4]_____Clip_________|_____Documentary__________|
[CHAN 8]_________Clip______________|___Clip___________|

The Icon for the channel would need to be maybe 200x200, so a TV news station could use their own logo if they wanted to.

The Channels functionality would primarily be to pull in RSS feeds, post the shows like a TV guide, and then auto-play the next one, as if its regular TV

Additional functionality would be that you could create MATTS CHANNEL and make a playlist of anime and porn and that playlist is presented like a tv channel.

Live television functionality could be worked into it too with whatever functions the live-stream would need to have to let xbmc run it.

I have other ideas but mostly they're stupid.

I keep trying to learn to program in python but I get a helloworld program running and then say "what the shit do I do now"

Maybe someday.

...I think I may need an ambien after reading that...I have practically no idea of what you are trying to say for anything before "channels"...as for your channels idea...you wouldn't be able to do that as an rss feed...however there is already an add-on called TV Guide (also one called "TV Show - Next Aired") that seems to do something with what you mentioned...although you failed to mention what the purpose was so I really don't know how else to answer this...there is also an add-on called Pseuso TV...I don't think you can make a playlist its own channel...but if you already have a playlist of...

anime and porn

...(cringe)...just use that.

PS, it seems like you are talking more about skinning and not xbmc core functions

I think that I didn't explain well. I will try again with imagery!

Does the skin handle file sorting?

PS. No need to be rude and obnoxious.

lol, sorry, i just wasnt expecting the imagery of an anime/porn playlist...and it depends on what type of sorting you mean
