Hi.
I have been playing about the app over the last few days and I believe that custom bar at the bottom of the screen will be brilliant for navigation. Currently the bar at the top, clicking into the remote does not show the bar anymore so you have to click back before you can then navigate to other menu buttons etc.

I would like to ask a few questions and possible requests if possible.

1. Will the bar at the bottom always be visible despite what screen ir tab you are in etc? Clicking the buttons on that bar will always be available despite being in any "child objects/forms" etc?

2. You suggested you can add the option to queue files that are not in the library, would it be possible to add the ability to do this for youtube videos too?

3. Is it possible in the remote and/or bottom custom button bar, to add buttons that can call other apps by the URL scheme they may have available? Likewise, does this app have a URL scheme to call the app? (Its so I can open the AV amplifier application (and others) and then also switch back to the remote etc)

4. I have over 1300 movies listed and opening the movies view (posters) is very, very slow despite the cache optins being enabled. Even once the app and movies view has been opened, switching to series and back to movies etc still loads the page very slowly. It becomes almost unuasble due to this, is their anything I or you can do to help alliviate this issue? My previous app would take a while to load the movies page initially, but once it had been opened, it was instant when switching between "tabs" etc. closing the app and reopening would then delay in the opening the movies again on the first entry etc.

Thats it for now and I appreciate all the work going into this. Thanks!

1. In almost every screen the bottom menu bar will be visible. For now there are a few exceptions, like the power menu and the remote control view. In the new theme the remote control view will have a bottom menu bar.

2. Sure I can do that. It could be that I am not going to do this in version 1.6, but a version after that. I was asked to release smaller updates, so they will come a bit faster. I will place it on the to do list.

3. The url scheme for this app is kodicontrolcenter://
Of course I can add url buttons. Keep in mind that this app really closes.

4. I have added an experimental keep in memory switch in version 1.6 for movies (and still have to do it for series).
It keeps the movies in memory as long as you don't leave the app. When leaving and returning to the movies view it will get the movies from memory and will apply, if applicable, filters.
The current cache switch loads it from storage, parses the output and applies filters. Purely done this for preserving memory. I still need to do dome tests, but I think it will be faster...I have only tested in a simulator and I don't have that many movies, hence the experimental switch.
