Try a skin like StreamedMP, this will install the latest versions of Moving Pictures and TVSeries and let you configure fanart settings in the installer. This would then give you a menu with Video (home Movies) Movies (Films) TVSeries is just obvious :) See how it pan's out.

Hi Xallias I have recently started a new job and don't have any spare time at the moment to help you further. Also being in a different country would make it difficult as well, as I'm sure each country has different standards for radio. Good luck with your problem.
