Thanks!

It wasn't explicitly planning to, but I think that would be a useful widget. I've added it to my "todo" list - not sure when I'll get around to it, though, as I have a few other things higher up on the list.
If anybody reading this thread has used the uTorrent API before, knows a bit of Python and fancies having a pop at it then let me know - it would get done faster that way
Livin Wrote:Are there full XBMC 'remote' and library capabilities - like AWX, coming?
You can currently browse your entire movie and TV show collection, start any episode/movie playing by clicking on it, and there are controls for play/pause and stop - so it's kind of like a cut-down remote at the moment. I quite like the simplicity of it - it's handy for when you know what you want to play, and faster than AWX because it doesn't load loads of thumbnails and extra info. The library browser is also integrated with the currently playing bar - you can click on the show name or season number in the "currently playing" bar to open that section.
That said, it would be quite nice if I could figure out a way of displaying movie/episode information and thumbnails without slowing things down. Perhaps instead of "click to play" in the library browser module, clicking loads in that item's details (release date, synopsis, thumbnail, etc.) with an option to play. I plan on doing this eventually, probably sooner rather than later.
Also, the ability to create/edit playlists would be quite nice - another thing that I want to add.

An adaptive layout for smaller displays would be great. Added to the list.
Livin Wrote:Having "profiles" to be able to customize what widgets show on what devices, and screen size / layout based on device need, would be awesome.
I've been trying to avoid using a database for this project (it's just one more thing that needs to be set up) but I'm starting to think that it might be beneficial. Something to think about, for sure.
Thanks for all the great ideas, they've been helpful.
