You dont need to switch skins just to use Artwork Downloader for bulk-mode -- you just go into program addons and launch artwork downloader manually from there.
Whenever i add a movie artwork downloader is starting to search for artwork automatically. However it always downloads only the logo and the fanart (no extrafanart, no clearart, no cdart) although i configured the artwork downloader addon to download everything there is. Tried it even without limitations. So to grab the complete artwork for a new movie i always have to switch to Aeon Nox and run the artwork downloader function there.
This is how it functioned in xp1080 (on which arctic is based). I assume this was done so that only artwork supported by the skin was downloaded -- as people tend to just enable all the artwork types and so heaps of additional time and bandwidth is used downloading images the skin cannot even use. However, since I have added support for extrafanart and disc-art in this skin, then I think it makes sense that when artwork downloader runs after an update it should download according to user preferences -- I've made the change in the latest git.

Firstly, I don't see much point as the video source is largely irrelevant. What matters is the quality and resolution of the encoding of the actual video file -- it can be ripped from a bluray yet still have terrible quality encoding and resolution. Secondly, the way that other skins get this information is based solely upon the filename -- if the filename has DVD in it then it is considered a dvd, BDRIP is a bluray etc. Alternatively, other skins display dvd/bluray cases based upon the resolution of the file (720 and 1080 are considered bluray whilst lower res are considered dvd). I would rather just have the actual resolution and codec information available.
audio channels like 2.0, 5.1 would be nice too.
I am working on adding infotags for audio-channels, I just haven't got anything that I'm happy with yet. When I get something that I like then it will definitely be making an appearance (same thing goes for aspect-ratios).

Just updated latest git, have you made some font changes? It seems different on home screen?
Fallback movies icon now Working on home screen, however the large silver camera icons tend to stand out a little to much and look a tad "cheap" in comparison to the rest of the skin, can this be user edited, or can we select an icon from the icon pack?
Yeah I just used the default fallback icons for the time being until I figure out exactly what to use. However, I have now changed it to a question mark icon. Also, in the latest git you can now change the icon to whatever you want by editing the two icons in skin.arctic/extras/widgets (they are called no-musiclogo.png and no-videologo.png). So you can just replace them with something out of the icons directory or whatever else you want. I will eventually change them to something other than the question mark.... just haven't decided on what yet.
