I noticed that there is a MOD to allow to access the Mediabrowser Server instead of the local library. Would it be possible to include this natively in the MQ5 code as an option. Some other skins have gone this route and woudl be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I love this skin. Very nicely done.
There is one thing that I do with Aeon Nox that I just cannot seem to replicate in MQ5 however. I have my TV series sorted into directories. eg. \\server\share\tv\current, \\server\share\tv\offair and \\server\share\tv\archive. I have created three smart playlists each of which only include one of these directories.
In Nox, I can create a top menu item that only shows the items in the respective playlist. And using the smart playlist manager I can make it so that the library stats and widgets also reflect only the content contained in the respective playlist. While I can create the top level menu item in MQ5, the library stats always shows the entire library. I also cannot find a way to add widgets to my custom menu items, like random episodes.
Not sure if I've made sense, but if someone gets what I'm after and has any idea how I can accomplish the same thing in MQ5 I would be grateful !!!

Wierd, my top menu items reflects the library stats of the according playlists.. not the whole library.
As for widgets, you have to enable them for your new menu items (in settings)

Thanks for the feedback djoole. I must be adding the menu items incorrectly. In the Customize main menu section I take an empty spot, choose replace item with, then video playlist and pick my XSP file. When I am on the item in the main menu the library stats on the left are completely black (no text on the banner). If I go into the item it shows the content of the smartlist and the library stats in the banner shows up but contains stats for the whole library.
Where do you enable the widgets for a custom menu item? I noticed the item shows up in widgets but all it has is a boolean selector and nothing shows up in either position.
I'm using MQ5 on Gotham beta 1... what versions are you using?
Thanks!

Love the theme thank you, Have downloaded all the themes and styles, looks great.
Would it be possible to make the Playing Menu skinnable, and have the option off the cover at the left hand side when paused. Or variations like that.
