II)
2) I'll look into this and see what I can come up with.
3) The mini-icons in the media list that show if a movie is a DVD or BluRay is determined by using either VIDEO_TS or BDMV folders, I haven't yet adapted it to look at the 'video source' tag, so currently it's expected behavior.
IV) seeing that I'm only getting the channel count myself through 'mediainfo', I'm afraid i can't do much here, even the channels in the main display are sort of guessed. (is that 6 channels? make that 5.1!)
New:
1) The path bar is only available in the 'Cocoa' build, which is faster and retina ready, but also has a bit of a memory leak when fetching information for a lot of movies at once using 'Fetch Metadata' for 'All items without metadata', the 'intel' version works fine with the except same code, so I'm not sure why this is happening, hopefully i'll be able to work this out by v0.8, and except for that issue I do recommend using the cocoa build in general.
2) I'm working on the ability for users to customize the toolbar, hopefully this'll be ready in v0.8. I'm not sure what you mean with the second part.
3) Technically, you don't, until recently I wasn't sure how to get all the selected items from a multi-selection list, but I'm also planning on working on this for v0.8.
4 & 5) Renaming the TV Show folders shouldn't be much of an issue, if you use the 'strict' name first to download the initial information, the show folder can be named anything, and ViMediaManager will use the .nfo file to look up additional information from then on, it'll only become an issue if a user decides to remove the .nfo file or re-scrape from scratch to find the modified title.
XBMC can use the 'Season ##' folder names to determine an episodes season number, like say, someone uses a set-up like this:
TV Show
Season 01
01 - Pilot.mkv
02 - second episode.avi
Which probably doesn't make it a good idea to add extra numbers to the season folder name, and possibly confuse XBMC when there are no episode.nfo files available, it is an interesting idea though, and you can use the 'Episodes' toolbar button to get an overview of a tv show's seasons, number of episodes per season, and even the number of unwatched episodes if you keep up your 'watched episodes' status.
6+) v0.8 will be sort of a re-write of ViMM in which i'll apply all that I've learned and more to make ViMM as great as possible! I've got some incredible things planned to make ViMM easier and more fun to use, and I hope that they'll all work out as I imagine them, but since it's going to be rewritten, it'll also be taking some time before it's done, and I still need to do some planning on some of the new layout and other ideas.
So everyone, bear with me as I continue working on making ViMediaManager the best media manager!
With kind regards,
