Great work Kricker. I've also been hacking away at adding more features to this plugin. I'd never programmed in Python before this, nor did I have any experience with XBMC plugins before, but I have managed to incorporate the following using my wits and some copy and pasting:

- IMDB poster fetching for custom RSS feeds that do not include it in the RSS feed itself. It does this by searching IMDB through Google using the movie title. It seems to be reliable about 95% of the time.
- AniDB image fetching for feeds with the category set to 'anime' This currently just pulls an image. It's not as reliable as the IMDB lookup and works about 50% of the time. Regex needs a lot of improvement and unfortunately anime posts rarely follow logical naming conventions, unlike movies/scene releases.
- Display size of each result next to the name in both the RSS view and the queue. This comes in pretty handy when dealing with HD content. I've only tested this on a few sites and it works fine, I can't vouch for all custom feeds.
- Display download speed and MB left in the Queue view.

There's a lot of things that need to be ironed out, but once I stabilize stuff a bit more I'd be glad to post the source if anyone is interested in any of the mentioned features.

Wow, that sounds great! I can't wait for you to post these changes.

Thanks to both of you for all of the great improvements to this essential plugin!

Maruchan--Just out of curiosity, do you think you can make it find thumbs for TV shows by title as well, since you already have it working for custom RSS feeds by title? Obviously you have no obligation to do so, but that would be AMAZINGLY cool if you could!

Yeah, I already have it pulling whatever poster IMDB has for the TV show. It seems like IMDB doesn't have a huge amount of posters for TV shows, but it's pretty good about pulling in the ones that do.

Great! I'd reserved the 2nd post for feature request we discussed but you've already managed them all. When you get them ironed out I'd love to test them and add them to the plugin on the repo.

Maybe we can figure out how to use theTVdb for posters for TV show feeds.

Any chance for http://www.nzbmatrix.com/ support ?

I don't have an nzbmatrix VIP account (which I think you need), so that's gonna have to come from someone else. And Kricker, one feature that I don't think I have the ability to add is auto-refreshing the Queue so stats are updated every X amount of seconds.

It's my custom feeds and works fine. I've thought about adding it as an option. I'll add it in the same time I get Maruchan's changes.
