Cool.
I figured I would let the user decide the display name; Comedies or Dramas or HBO instead of forcing their home menu to show LazyTV Comedies, etc.

I have been able to test using some .strms, and found a couple of bugs/quirks.
One of the bugs meant that the .strm couldnt be played when selected from the List of next shows window, but I have been able to fix that. So that is up and running. The solution was to clear the playlist, add the show, and then play the playlist, rather than just playing the file directly.
The other quirks is in the random player mode. Basically if your playlist has both local files and .strms, XBMC thinks that calling the streams url is as good as playing the whole item in the playlist and so starts playing the next item if that item is a local file. Also, escaping out of the stream as it starts (hitting cancel) just moves you to the next item.
I think this is just what happens when streams are added to playlists.

Thanks a lot for this add on, it's exactly what I need.
I do have a couple of questions:
1. Can I change the look of the playlist? It's only showing 7 entries, and I'd like to see other views, if available. Is this a function of the add on, or my skin? I'm currently using Transparent.
2. Can the 'The' be removed from the sorting? e.g The Blacklist, would appear under 'B', near the top of the playlist.
3. and finally, what is "Backfill Watched Status Script". It was asked previously, but I'm not sure it was answered

I'd like to get more into this addon but haven't had the time while at home. Love what you're doing though!

Yep thats it.
The version number can be found under Addon Information in XBMC.
Just to confirm, that LazyTV is working with your streams? If that is so, then I will look to release it ASAP.

I found that when I finished to watch an episode, the script doesn't refresh immediately, I have to deactivate it and activate it again for refreshing,, can you fix that?

The script does automatically refresh so something is stopping it on your system.
Can you provide the log file?

Dont worry about the log file. I have been able to replicate the problem.
The issue is because the query the service uses to get information on the item that is playing, does not populate correctly for streams. That means that the addon doesnt even get notified that it might need to refresh the list.
I will work on a fix for it, and I have a rough idea how to do it, so we'll see how that goes.
What SHOULD happen is that the service notices when a tv show starts, and then loads up the refreshed data and keeps it somewhere. Then when the show is watched (or close to the end of it) the service moves the new data over. I worked it like this because the Raspberry Pi was taking too long to refresh the data.
