@zepfan: I plan on doing it this weekend. Hopefully that's enough time to weed put any critical bugs. If you need a bit longer, I can wait for a few more days if necessary.
@Juntistik: Heh, of course it's possible, I'm just not sure it would be of much value. The idea of exactly simulating a DVR is appealing on the surface, but I think that by doing that I would actually be limiting the flexibility that's possible for the system. If the user wants to jump around the playlist, they are welcome to do so, and enforcing any sort of "real-time" on the system would be...unintuitive without a gui change in some way.
A skin browser isn't really possible (as far as I know). XBMC selects the XML file to use based on the current skin, I have no control over what one is used.
As far as the channel logo thing goes...eh, I put in the optionally permanent channel logo bug because Sranshaft coded it up and I didn't have to do any work. Oddly enough, displaying the logo from time to time wouldn't be as easy as it sounds. Again with the previously mentioned multithreading in python. Well, I'll think about it even so...maybe it wouldn't be so bad...
