I was wondering if you have support coming for playlists (as in playlists I've made and I just click on in xbmc to play) or smart playlists?

I was also curious if you got anywhere with Headphones?

Selecting Your previously saved playlists is not yet possible. I personally never use the playlists, so i never thought about it. I don't know how many people use the playlists, but it could be a nice feature.
User Mbw2001 is at the moment more active in the xbmc-section of HTPC Manager, maybe he has some ideas for the playlists.

Headphones support is somewhere on the to-do list, but not in the near future, sorry.

Does anybody know if HTPC manager can be installed as a windows server? IF yes where can I find some good install instructions.

You mean service? Yes this is possible. It is not really installing, but more like execute Htpc.py on startup. You just need to run pythonw.exe instead of python.exe when launching HTPC Manager. This disables all output to the command line. Auto start can be done by creating a shortcut and putting it in the startup folder for windows. I think the exact details can be found on google. Goodluck.
