I am working on TV shows now, i would expect about a month in total until all the work is completed, with several releases in between for testing new code.
Here is a list of things that I plan to implement/change over the coming weeks :-
Remove adding tv shows from the preferences menu, it doesn't belong there
Allow TV Show Folders to be listed as "Foldername" if tvshow.nfo does not exist or is invalid
Allow episode.nfo files for folders missing tvshow.nfo to be listed
Create a new form that allows TV Shows to be added or edited
Allow each TV Show to have its own settings with regards to "Sort Order" (DVD or Default) and "Language"
Display whether a TV Show is available in any listed language.
Extend the dont download actor thumbs when browsing option to include TV Shows, since actor thumbs are downloaded realtime it can slow the TV Show browsing down significantly.
Add Watched Toggle
Add rating to shows
Add certificate to shows
Add quicksave option to TV Show and episodes
Add new browser for posters/banners and fanart
Add mediainfo support for tvshows
Add Rar and DVD folder support for tv shows
Rebuilding the episode array is slow, particularly when the user has a large ammount of shows, often this is unneccesary such as when new episodes are added the code will be optimized so that this rebuild should only be required on startup.
If anyone feels I have missed anything then please feel free to leave a comment.
Once the above has been finnished I plan on implementing support for storing actor thumbs locally, this will not only speed up browsing, but stop XBMC needing to access the internet anything at all when scraping nfo files.
Then is when I plan on looking at adding support for music albums.

Out of curiosity,
Movies have IMDB and TMDb
TV Shows have TVDB
What is the best source for music info

does that search your folder directory or do you have to type in the artist and album to find?

Type in the artist and album to find.
Yip it's a lot of work to do your collection but ones your done it's just adding new album and search for the cover.
The problem with music covers is that there isn't a source that has a large collection of big thumbs and you have to watch out for wrongly cropt covers (white borderlines).

I use allmusic.com for all the general information and album downloader for album covers. Then tag&rename to embed the info into my mp3's. I like thetvdb.com's setup. I'd like to see them do a similar site for music. Allmusic.com is good, but the site tends to be slow, probably do to the amount of traffic on the site.

I'm curious to try out this program but my issue is that all my video files are stored on the X-Box and I would prefer not to have to copy all the files to my computer to use this program then paste them back into the X-Box. Is there a way that it will allow me to connect into the X-Box (via FTP or whatever) and select my files then? Or will I have to copy all my files (500GB worth) to my computer first?

Anyone noticed that version 2.135 doesn't find new movies in the folders to watch sometimes?
I have to use 2.111 to find them.
