Hey jblance,
you are correct! When I wrote this originally, I chose option 2, and expanded the http api to support searching by those things. Now we will have expand the json api in the same way.
I don't really want to do option 1 from a performance point of view for people with large libraries (esp. music) and slow phones.
I will take a look at those two commits a little later this week.
Catchya!

Good Job jblance. Are you working in your fork off of tombriden or did you do the merge in niftydudes fork? Let me know if I can help with anything. After we get the merge stable I will add in my code for the home screen widget.

Hey guys,
internet is patchy where I am right now, so I can't really look at anything till I get home in February.
Feel free to commit into my repo - you both should have access. If anything goes too bad we can always roll back to one of the previous labels.

I would just like to say I am really liking where all this work is going. I'm running Frodo so for the time being I can't use this. Thank you for all your work.

Yeah I'm subscribed to the thread so that I can keep an eye on progress. I'm on frodo too.
Kudos to each of you working on this.

Sorry guys I have not been around in awhile, shortly after getting laid off I landed a Systems Developer gig. Now that I am up to speed there I should be around more. jblance where are you at with stuff and things? Anything you need me to get on and start attacking? Also is nifftydude back is the hizzy? Also where are your new changes, are you using your fork or niftydude's. Thanks

Thanks jblance! Just tried this out and its actually works quite well and is surprisingly useful.
Observation:
When exiting out of "voice mode" by using the back key, it goes all the way back to then main menu. I would suspect the expected behavior is to return to the remote.
Suggestion for playing tv shows.
Since most will not know what episode they want I would suggest "play latest breaking bad" and it will play the latest episode or latest unwatched. Only other option I could think of is just to navigate directly to the show's season list with a different command, of course then you would need to select the episode manually.
