Option to add additional custom genres to the databases, scrapers, & library filters?

I gues no ones requests have been granted this fast ;-)

When might this next version be a vailable

Main menu customization is skin dependent (it's not part of Confluence since it's meant to be a "beginners" skin)
There are plenty of hacks and remixes that allow for that though. (search the forum).
Frodo (next version) will allow Library customization, independent of skin.

Sub-genres are a necessity, not a luxury. Indeed, sub-genre becomes a necessity the very moment you express the word "genre". Just look up the theory of literature, on which the "genre" construct is based, and you will be struck by an amazing amount of classifications, cross-references, melanges, hybrids, you name it. And if the glossary is rich, its philological, philosophical and atistic foundations are mind-exploding. To do this artefact justice, you need an engine able to express each and every logical relationship as it emerges. In other words, an SQL-database. XBMC has it. Why it is not used is a mystery to me.

XBMC v12 has this. We call them tags. You can test it out with a development build.
