Personally I do not do to much with the current options in the video library I just can't be bothered to remember when a movie was shot who directed it or who stared in it. But...
If as mentioned before a new way of accessing the video library would exist for example list all movies by the same director or with this actor. From the info screen this would be a wonderful way to get people like me to actually enjoy all the hard work put into the video library.
As for what I would like to see changed because in the end that is what this thread is about and skins should be able to cover the idea listed above with some handy work on the side of the person creating the skin (at least that is what I believe from what I have seen so far)
I would love to see video resolutions included as some times one just wants to show off the fullHD quality stuff.
I also think a good thing would be to have movie length in there as it happens quite a few times that you have say an hour and a half or so thus you will have to drop obvious things like the LOTR extended editions but the few hundred others that you are not sure about you don't want to have to all check.
A way to search on arbitrary fields like IMDB rating, or ESRB, would come in handy or better yet compound options where I could say all movies after year X rated over 7.8 on IMDB and falling in the PG13 category.
The next thing that I think would help a lot is to be able to exclude certain things like all movies from 1996 till now not directed by him.
The last thing that I think would help a lot is besides the possibility to construct custom searches to be able to store say 5 or 10 of them. That would make for a lot easier searching certainly when there is a way to construct relatively complex searches.
Of course people with only a few movies will not care to much for such functionality bu I think that anyone that is getting close to or has passed the 500 full length movies will not be able to imagine life without this functionality.
