I don't think this has been suggested so far, but what about the option to remove individual items from a smartplaylist? I doubt I am the only person this has happened to before, but I make a smartplaylist and inevitably there turns out to be an item that despite the many criteria that I apply I don't want in the playlist. Usually an episode that just has a stray word in the synopsis that sets off the filters or something of that nature. Rather than adding a filter like "title is not XXXXXXXXXXX" which currently adds all episodes, you could just choose "Remove from Smartplaylist." The only issue would be if you made a smartplaylist and removed an item that you then wanted to re-add after removing. To solve this, and in a general sense just make the smartplaylists/filters more useful, I would like to the see the option "Add to playlist" available in the context menu of any movie and to have all of your smartplaylists be listed along with your regular playlists as options for adding.
That way you could make a smartplaylist for something like "Favorite Movies" You could set a filter that says all movies with Director = Tim Burton (because Tim Burton is awesome) then you could manually remove one of the Batman flicks that he did by using context menu->remove from Smartplaylist. Then once you have the bulk of your Favorite Movies added through the filters, you can manually add others from the library.
Just a few things I have wished I could do when creating smartplaylists.
Cheers,
Rand
