JRock514: It may not be needed if I can reproduce it. I just need to know the specific item that is failing for you. If it doesn't fail for me then I will need a log.
SamHill: thanks. I am working on fanart images for the stations as well. thanks for the work on the icons.
I am trying to fix the television database and tvdb code so it will have full meta, fanart, banner, poster for tv shows in all lists. This alone will make it much prettier to use. I am also adding auto set view to make it show a good view for meta-data.
I plan to do the library export but it is going to depend mostly on the new database. it is going to be for exporting by show. The Favorite Show list will most likely be the main way to export.
This will enable people to mark their favorite shows and have all their full episodes exported.
If you aren't familiar with hulu or amazon exporting to library then I will explain. It exports a bunch of strm and nfo files. You can then add them as a source to scan the files into your xbmc database. they strm files contain parameters that will launch the plugin to resolve the final video link. the nfo is just meta-data on the video. Hulu has an auto update script to execute the queue export on a timer. I want to update that to include amazon and free cable exporting.
This will enable queue like functionality for free cable with your library. It would simply scan any new episodes for favorite shows into your library on a timer.
