Hi Nukka,
Can't really speak for everyone, but can for myself.
I typically run the latest nightly builds, maybe updating once or twice a week. I have no problem though modifying the code to support the script to test it, though think obviously there will be a bigger following if it fits into the current Dharma methodology, if that's even possible.
When I used the script back in the Atlantis days, I was very happy to have it run trivia with a music bed for xx minutes (I changed the script because sometimes I wanted only a 1-5 minute trivia just to show it off, sometimes you just want to get to the movie faster). Then after the trivia, a separate "coming attractions" bumper, followed by a random pull of trailers (I gave up on apple's HD streaming ability so just had it picking random from my downloaded trailers folder which I try to keep up to date). After that, a "feature presentation" video and then the film.
I loved how it worked with the Aeon script that there was a "cinema" button I could push, instead of play, sort of a "play with HTE" option vs a basic play option which just started the film.
Those were the basics that I loved, if that could be back in a Dharma version I'd be a super happy camper. I can honestly say this is the script I miss the most in the new XBMC, I really used to love it when it worked. So thanks for any work you are doing to attempt to port it.

BTW - While the ability to also dim the lights down a bit for trailers, then further when the actual film starts, would be REALLY REALLY cool I wouldn't kill yourself on that until the basics are done. Similarly, to have it play slides and raise lights on a pause button press, then resume the feature on unpause, would be really cool, I think that's a later feature to add once the basics work again.

i just need you to test without patching xbmc, to see how difficult it is or if some settings don't show. i could do it my self by reverting, but i won't use it that way so i need other peoples feedback.
bdpna, all that is possible. i don't have x10 or homeseer or any of that, so you'll have to write the modules. but the support is there.
i'll upload the settings maybe tomorrow after i clean them up a little and post screenshots how it's suppose to look/work.

I assume you would like us to look at the demonstration "script.xbmc.lyrics". If so, what type of feedback are you looking for?

Is the zip file you linked to correct. It includes a copy of XBMC.EXE dated May2010 and a copy of guisettings.xml.

crashing in maintenance tab probably is one of the bug fixes in the patch did not get applied.
can you screenshot the playlist tab, is it usable.
