Could this be added please?
It has already been added :-)
In the skin settings --> general skin settings, you now have an option to select the busy animation.
You can select a leight-weight gif animation OR you can set it to "None" which will completely disable the busy loader.
Note that this is atm only available in the beta version, soon published to the stable version.

I have my widgets set for Movies In Progress & Episodes in Progress or Up Next Episode (whatever the new option is called). Most of the time the Movie widget is empty & at times the TV Show one is too, is it possible to show a fallback option for the widget, say Random Movies/TV Shows or Recently Added, if the In Progress list is empty & then switch back to In Progress as something is partially watched?
I changed the "recommended movies" option: I will now first display the in progress movies (if any) and besides that it will display random movies with a high rating from IMDB.
Also changed the "nextup episodes" a bit. Normally it would display any episodes that are in progress or the first unwatched episode of in progress Tv shows. I coded it that it will also fill the list with first episodes of new tv shows.
This will be available in the next beta of the skin.

In a vertical home screen top object would be a "Library" view where the widget would be all the options I have (Documentaries, Movies, TV Shows, Music, Workout, Home Videos). Second would be "On Deck" which would be the combination of "Next Up" episodes and "In Progress" Movies. Third object would be Recently added Movies and Episodes. I think the fourth object is a recommended row for movies and tv shows.
I think that's all there individually. The first row I can probably already do. But the next two rows would require combining existing widgets.
That is a good idea but would require a major skin change. What you mean is to have multiple widgets setup on the homescreen.
Currently this is possible with the "enhanced home" layout which allows for a second (spotlight) widget.
I will sure add this to the skin but for now I have a feature freeze for a couple of days in order to release another update to the stable/official repo.
So I will write this one down on my todo list to pickup when I released the update to the stable version.

Yes ultimately it would just be a mixed widget mode. I wouldn't want to cause a major change that would cause stability issues as although it is a nice feature is isn't a huge advantage in having it.

It doesn't cause stability issues, it's just that I have to modify the homescreen to support multiple rows of widgets. It's kind of a lot of work to do but I see some potential. I've added it to my todo list to look after some day.
As a quick fix I can create a new widget like "recommended media" which contains items from multiple sources. Like in progress movies, in progress episodes and in progress music and some recommended movies.
EDIT: I have added two alternative widget options:
IN PROGRESS MEDIA -->Shows media that is in progress: movies, episodes and music songs
RECOMMENDED MEDIA --> Same as in progress media but with additional recommended movies
These new widgets are available in the shortcuts edit screen to assign to your shortcuts.
Available in next beta

Hi Marcel,
Will there be any work toward getting the netflix style next up notification looking better with Titan?
Thanks for your time.
I only ever have one movie in progress so the list is usually empty.
