Dave, is the discussion here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=305853 covering a way to get a playlist to display the artwork for a currently playing track via a switch or the like, likely to get included in your deliberations?

I'm still hoping someone else will pick this up, so it is lurking between "todo" and "this I don't have resources for". I won't tidy-up these posts until I decide which, but it will get on the list one way or other.

Only thing I can think of is my eternal request for some kind of A-Z node but done in a programmatic way. Razze gave it a go at one point but didnt find an easy way.

There are non-ascii typescript related difficulties as Scott says, but I get the need to split up large lists of items this way. Would it be wrong to have something for the ascii names, even if it failed for other scripts?

But at the moment my head is in scraping....
