Ah I only switch subtitles/audiostreams through the OSD dialog in the XBMC GUI so I never came across those notifications.
Good question concerning whether they should appear or not. I don't really have an opinion on it because I never used it so far. I'll have to think about it and aks other people what they'd expect.

I think it would make life much easier for the user. Say you have 8 different subtitles. Atm you'd be blindly cycling through and having to wait for someone to talk to see which langague you are currently on. Whereas if you had the popup you'd know.

I just pushed a commit which refactores the way the methods of the Input namespace work. Up until now Input.Left/Right/... could only be used for navigational purposes but didn't work in other places like in fullscreen video where the "Arrow Right" key on the keyboard performs a small seek forward. After this change executing the Input.Left method has the exact same effect as when pressing the "Arrow Left" key on the keyboard. Obviously this also applies to Input.Right/Up/Down/Back/Select.
I hope this makes using these methods easier and more intuitive. Furthermore addons now get a fully qualified action object in python with valid name and buttoncode (and not only with a valid action id).

Hey,
I've seen some problems from TU users who have "allow programs on this computer to control xbmc" disabled, and thus TU can't see json notifications. For python add-ons running in XBMC is there a way to access the json stream without a telnet connection? would this be possible? would it (as a last resort) be reasonable (or even possible) for the add-on to enable this option when it isn't enabled?

I don't really know much about python and addons but there's no notification callback into python. It might be possible to implement but I'd have to read up on that stuff and it would certainly not be available for Eden. Please create a feature request ticket for it. So having "allow programs on this computer to control xbmc" and a TCP connection to XBMC is the only way so far. Changing GUI settings from an addon isn't supported either.
Best thing would probably be to put a hint into your addons disclaimer or description saying that the user needs to enable "allow programs on this computer to control xmbc" with a description where to find the setting.

Is it possible to use JSON-RPC to edit/retrieve/delete data from the textures database or do I have to use the HTTPAPI for this?

JSON-RPC does not provide any means to access the texture database.

The problem with your approach is, as Mizaki pointed out correctly, that some ppl don't have seperate directories for seasons and other people have the epidose files of the same season in different directories (maybe even on different harddiscs) so you need to take that into account.
