Any chance still that you'd maybe be able to add the original banner list to the configuration screen of Plexbmc?

With regards the problems with the artwork and the dependancy on using the artwork downloader and possibly artwork organiser these are issues that go away if you switch to the MediaBrowser server solution. It has probably the best metadata editor built into its web client so fix it in one place and all your clients benefit..another huge benefit I have seen is that it is an open source project which actively encourages people to start participating..which I have begun doing with the xbmb3c video add-on. They are soon to release Linux and Mac flavours of their servers too so everyone should be covered. By using the xbmb3c mode of the skin it switches all widgets on the home screen to that from your media browser server...so potentially allowing you to continue watching a tv show you had previously been watching on your roku, or iOS or any of the other clients they have. The aim is for the xbmb3c add-on to replace any need for having a local database for your media. Currently as it stands it can replace the need for the Skin widgets add-on and the NextAired script..as that info now comes from the server. Hopefully we can get the add-on to also provide the fanart backgrounds and so make the need for the script.fanart redundant...if your still looking for reasons as why you would want to switch to the MB3 server it also offers a lot more info such as the rotten tomatoes critic rating and reviews from critics..other things like similar tv shows etc etc I think allows for great potential with this as compared to the restricted info we got from using PlexPMS. And finally they also seem to be pro-actively pushing for new kinds of things such as two new image types: back images for blurays and spine images: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1455591/media-...t_24241310 allowing for potential new views
Oh and just in case you had not seen it this is a really useful add-on for upgrading/downgrading openelec: http://ls80.github.io/script.openelec.devupdate/

So I have to switch back to counfluence, select the setting and return to XPerience1080++. Then it's fine, but only for a moment. After a while I somehow seem to be thrown back to standard view.
Edit2: Maybe its not just an issue of switching back and forth from Expert- to Standard-mode, but some of the settings just seem to "disappear" on all my four PCs, like some energy-settings and the video frame rate setting. It's very strange. When I switch back to confluence and then to Xperiecne180++ again the settings suddenly return - but after a while they are gone again.

thank you for the new update. Your skin is my favourit it contains every view I like to have...
So I played a little bit with the skin and found a little thing, we must change for Gotham...
In the Viewtypes you use
as condition for moviesets... for Gotham we have to use as followCode:<visible>substring(ListItem.Path,videodb://7/1,left)</visible>
Code:<visible>substring(ListItem.Path,videodb://movies/sets,left)</visible>
I tried and it works again... so maybe you will change ist...
There are so many rows of code you can't see everything. If it's okay for you I will spend more time to
test and maybe find some issues...

Just one thing, the Live TV section is an area I'm still not happy with (channel list, epg, ...) it is posible to re-design it with a more modern look? (for example add transparency, colors, big logo channels, ...). is the only are i'm still not happy with.
Thanks!
I am totally with you on this one, however I cannot think of anything good to put there. I thought about a widget with images like the TV shows section..but then what images would go there..I am open to suggestions if you have a sort of mockup that is achievable? In fact anyone reading this with ideas for the Live TV section please share them as I do agree six tiles on their own are a bit boring!

I am almost ready to switch, the only thing I feel like is missing is a good banner view for episodes. I am finding I am really missing the original bannerlist view from xperience 1080, ie: No poster, viewing many items off the list with ratings and all. The original bannerlist for viewing episodes is just simply brilliant in my opinion, my favorite for browsing episodes in any XBMC skin.
Yeah that should be simple enough to include, I'll keep it in mind and include it in a future update.
