Looking good! Now that people are using it I should probably be careful not to break anything on master

This looks real good! I helped develop MediaFrontPage for quite some time earlier this year. Created quite a few widgets, so if you're looking for some help, hit me up. One problem is I am quite new to python... all of MFP's coding was php/javascript.

Thanks for the offer. There's still a fair bit of work to be done... player controls, recommendation widget, trakt upgrades (like the ability to add shouts), perhaps even library browsing. It's all on github so feel free to fork and have a play around - if you know PHP then Python shouldn't be too intimidating, and it'd be a good excuse to learn

If you have any ideas for modules/features/improvements/etc. or have any questions about how the code works (for example, the modules system that I've put in place) then let me know.

Also, I'm taking suggestions for a new name. "HTPC Frontend" is a bit... generic?

I pushed some more changes today:

* Clicking a recently added episode now plays it
* Added a new "media library" module which allows you to browse your movies and TV shows, and click to play them in XBMC
* Added play/pause and stop controls to the currently playing bar
* Created a project homepage with more up-to-date setup instructions: http://mrkipling.github.com/htpc-frontend/

Things that I added last week and didn't mention:

* Pagination of recently added episodes
* Made the trakt module much more efficient and faster - instead of polling it now only fetches it when what you're watching has changed
* Nicer styling for the SABnzbd+ module (including a progress bar)
* Various small bugfixes and tweaks

Hey man, this looks great!

Would it be possible to get it integrated into XBMC as an addon? Like the web UIs...

Only reason I ask is because of the way OpenElec works. You can't install anything to the OS, unless it runs through the XBMC interface I don't believe.

I'm not sure how to go about this, but if you don't know yet are interested, I don't mind scouting out the right info. I work with Python a bit in VFX, but not with GIT/Application stuff, just app centric scripting.

This was actually suggested to me recently, and it would definitely be much better if it were available as plugin. Creating XBMC web interface plugins is not something that I know that much about, but I'm going to have a look and see if it would be possible in Eden.

Cool, I'll have a look around and give you any resources I find.

Thanks, that would be much appreciated.
