The Leia version has an option in the shelf customizer to switch between thumbnails and posters for TV shows, I wish that was more of an global setting, because I also want that for the Movies shelf.

Not liking this idea, The reason for adding a thumbs option to the tv show shelf was a no-brainer... to alleviate the monotony of having a shelf full of the same poster. Movie shelf does not have this problem and thumbs take up more space and do a poor job of identifying what's what.

In general I wish that some of the views would use posters instead of thumbs. Not all my Movies have thumbs and it feels a little bit weird when they fall back to posters.

I don't get this comment. Only one of the ten movie media views uses foreground fanart/thumbs.

I wish there was an setting to display random movies in the shelf instead of recently added. I know I could edit the smart playlist that is used to display them, but I think an option would be good.

This feature will be implemented in v5.4.2.

Enable some of the album views also for artists. I added the Panel (icons) view but then in the top left corner it shows the Artist name twice back to back (instead of Artist - Album, like it is on the Album view), and I have no idea if/how I could copy the view, remove the second Artist entry and make it only available while viewing Albums.

I may consider more view options for music at some point but this is rock-bottom on my priority list b/c there are so many more appealing ways to consume music these days.

Would it be possible to set the images used on the Music shelf and icons view (maybe there are more views, can't tell right now) to use square images? They are currently rectangular and the images are stretched/cut off. And I don't know if my covers are all wrong but they are all square and so are the folder.jpgs I use as artist images. I tried to change it, but I wasn't able to find the correct location of the code.  I was able to set the aspect ratio to keep but then the frame was obviously to big.

You lost me here too. All images related to music are square. What am i missing?

With the Retroplayer feature closing in, we could need an Games Menu entry on the main menu (Mostly because I haven't figured out how mark the new menu as favorite so I have to switch skins currently if I want to test some games ).

Game support will likely happen once the code is merged with mainline kodi.

Is there a way to have the current videoplaylist/musicplaylist as favorite so that I can have it appear in the submenu? I know it is available in the context menus but that's no quick enough for me to get to.

Easy enough. Edit/add the following to your favourites.xml:

PHP Code:

<favourite name="Music playlist">ActivateWindow(musicplaylist,root,return)</favourite>
<favourite name="Video playlist">ActivateWindow(videoplaylist,root,return)</favourite>
