I would like to see "Years" on the shelf submenu under movies to browse by year. It's a simple change and I'll create a pull request against your repo if that works for you.

I have a small suggestion. Would it be possible to add "Next Airing Episodes" to it? Maybe as an option in the TV Show main menu widgets?

Thanks,

Shedrock

ArtworkBeef does not need any skin codes for it to work. -> Skin independent
You mean maybe ArtworkHelper from the same developer so that you can show extrafanart that are read directly into the database (they are read in with ArtworkBeef -> skin independent,  they are showed with ArtworkHelper -> skin dependent)

Unless of course you mean to be able to directly perform a few ArtworkBeef functions via a TopMenu as in this example:

            

Code:

    <control type="button" id="9319">
                    <!-- Artwork Beef Solo Mode-->
                    <include>TopMenuButton</include>

                    <onclick condition="!system.hasaddon(script.artwork.beef)">ActivateWindow(Programs,Addons,return)</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Container.Content(tvshows)">RunScript(script.artwork.beef, mediatype=tvshow, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Container.Content(movies)">RunScript(script.artwork.beef, mediatype=movie, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick>
                    <onclick condition="Container.Content(musicvideos)">RunScript(script.artwork.beef, mediatype=musicvideos, dbid=$INFO[ListItem.DBID])</onclick>
                    <onclick>SetFocus(51)</onclick>
                    <visible>Container.Content(tvshows) | Container.Content(movies) | Container.Content(musicvideos)</visible>
                </control>
                <control type="button" id="9320">
                    <!-- Artwork Beef Gui Mode-->
                    <include>TopMenuButton</include>
