In my case tvtunes can not find music for any of my content anyways. For other users they could enable it just to find the content and then disable it. The issue of it causing a loop with the screensaver is not a problem with this skin it is a problem of the screensaver and tvtunes. As for lowering the volume tvtunes just lowers the xbmc volume and then puts it back. The skin could be coded to preform the same action if a user so wanted.

However, I have come up with a more interactive idea where when you click the title of the show you then can select between playing the theme song, watching a preview or ops/eds or even viewing sound tracks for the show.

I recognize that normal users would not have this sort of content however for those of us that use XBMC to manage our anime collections these features are like a wet dream. What I need to figure out is how to display the contents of a folder within a popup box.

In the summer I plan to really expand the feature set of the title button option and hopefully it will be modified and added to the official build.

As should be obvious I got crazy busy and was not able to do any work on this mod all summer.

I noticed that it no longer works with the latest versions of this skin. When I switch to eden I will be trying to update this mod (hopefully with some help from the author) to support the latest version.

I was wondering, if when I make the update to support the next xbmc version and make it so there can be an option to turn my mod on and off from the settings could it just be added to the official build? I ask this mainly b/c I do not want to keep worrying about needing to make major updates to it every time there is a change in the base script. This would also make it more accessible to users.
