Many of the skin shortcuts seem to be broken. For example the link to recently added movies takes you to the top of "Video" folder tree, then you have to select movies to get the next menu then "recently added movies" to actually to get where you want to go. Is it just ee seeing this, or is this a known problem?

If you are just switching to the beta, you may need to rebuild your shortcuts.

How do I rebuild the shortcuts?

You start with the skin settings: Configure Shortcuts->Edit menu shortcuts:

Build your shortcuts and associated widgets, backgrounds, labels, actions, etc. using the editor.

Unfortunately, this skin is so darn configurable, it's not for the novice nor the faint at heart. But, if you are patient and try a lot of things, you'll eventually get the hang of it.

Good luck!
