Of course, I'm more happy to explain aspects that I personally user, but I'm reasonably capable of explaining concepts in plain English.
Give me a shout if you need help.

P.S.
Regarding the artwork naming issues ox XBMC... there's a growing number of us want to reign it in... it's getting out of hand on a grand scale.
The problem you face is that until it's enforced system wide... folks will always complain and ask for this convention or that convention.
Once it's nailed down, and implemented properly, we can say to users.. THIS is how it works, and this is how you port your old convention to the new.
I have no doubt there will be a few screams, but I am convinced it needs to be done!
Just want to say thanks for the effort on this. Definitely getting out of hand probably because of various assumptions, like assuming only one image will exist, one poster etc. Need to accomodate expansion in any design thats nailed down, like possibility of having multiple fanart, multiple thumbnails, multiple trailers of various types, maybe multiple other, but very good idea having a way of setting what type of content is in each image, ie poster etc etc. Futurewise, will more and more information about each image be important, making the filenames get out of hand again? Further need to give information about each image might end up meaning we need an xml for each image again, always happens down the line with these type of things
Its all not an easy thing to do however, to think of what MIGHT be needed / desired in the coming months from various users and skin designers. Definitely has to be decided upon and finalized as some sort of specification that everyone uses.
