Here's my opinion:

For me it is very important for navigation icons that (series, films ...) at the bottom of the application. For visualize the icons, there must have a drawing to represent the icon but also a text. It is very important that there are a text. Must be large icons otherwise it's not easy to navigate :

That bottem bar is to controll what's on the iPad not in the TV screen so why have it there ? Once your finished with the remote you would close it down angle then that bar would appear with what ever page you where on last.

It's just making it far to cluttered but if you look at my post 354 it's got quick jump buttons for what's on the TV screen and audio track and subtitles and a info button everything you need for controlling the TV side of it

If you want to view the library on the remote you would use the close or back button on the remote and would go to the page you where last on say movies.

Also if you want extra options fro a more advance user you could have a sliding window on the left of the screen so it would look more like your post in 356

I will try and explain in some shots tonight. But the menu bar at the bottem is pointless in a remote screen I think.

I will have to have a play around. But don't want to mess rschiks about by keep changing stuff
