Gimme the chance and I'll be using that movie-specific icon feature in a second.
Presumably, all it would take for the 720p/1080p icons would be a function that returned the width of the picture. You couldn't do height as the aspect ratios change. Audio format would be a piece of cake, surely, as would the availability of subtitles.

I ran Meedio since it first came out and ran its predecessor (myHTPC) before that. It is a great HTPC program but the tweaks and setup just got to be too much for me. I'm a geek at heart, but sometimes I like some things to just be easy. XBMC made things much easier for me and I enjoy it much more.

I've been working on a 'Alpha' type browsing which works in some phones. The Idea is dou hit 2 once and it filters A a second time B 3rd C 4th 2. It would work in the show listing area to cut down on significant numbers of shows to quickly find something.
I feel the filiter/search areas are clunky when using a remote and as such never use them. But when I want lost and i can hit 5 3 times and then scroll maybe once to it that seems much quicker.
Also the more advanced version of this is of course to find lost do 5-6-7-8 and then have the software find matches with the combination of those 15 letters (JKL/MNO/PQRS/TUV) which should also be decently simple. Though of course by the time you press 5-6 lost should be the only show remaining or very near it.
I dunno I though this type of navigation would be much more usefull to using xbmc with a remote. Especially when you have 300 movies and 70 shows.

I think these would be highly appreciated! Do you think you could make a .rar and put it up for us to grab? Thanks again!
