It's a bit more than advanced/expert menus. Pretty much the whole set of dialog menus - context, file browser, etc. - needs doing properly, which is a trial. Music playlists are integrated in such a way that I can't release anything until those are fixed, which means Python. I'm having to do a Python support library to patch the holes in Kodi's skinning engine and functionality - but that's good news because it means nothing will technically block the skin from being finished. The bookmarks OSD needs doing, settings need finalising, and then the whole thing needs refactoring.
You have to be careful with terms like beta, WIP, etc. The fact is the skin is either released or it's not, and any of kind of release is going to start modders off, feature requests, etc. If the foundation isn't solid then there's going to be a ton of firefighting for everyone involved. The point of a beta is to find out all the stuff you didn't know was broke, and there's a way to go before we get there.
I did just upgrade my TV to a QLED, though, and trust me it'll be worth the wait. Native 4K@60 ftw. Just make sure you have a capable box like a Shield TV.
Will try and post another video today.
