Appreciate your work, look forward to a release in the future. I have some few comments/suggestions for your consideration.

Media Tabs

Shares | Videos | Series | Movies

I assume that Videos = My Videos database view | Shares = My Videos Shares view | Series = My TV Series | Movies = Moving Pictures

If a user has both tv series and moving pictures installed, then they are unlikely to be using the my videos database view as well, as this is just overlap. Personally I would find the following more useful

Rec TV | Shares | Series | Movies

with Rec TV = My TV Recordings

Volume Slider

With regard to the volume button with slider I really like this implementation. For me this wouldn't be useful, as myself some other users use digital pass through audio eg. SPDIF/HDMI for audio, so the volume control on the HTPC has no effect, so please consider option for those users who control the volume on the audio receiver. My current method for controling the volume is when I press the Vol +/- key on my MCE IR remote an application called "lmremote" detects this and sends an IR blast code to the audio receiver to change the volume. With this method I can only control +/- I can't select an absolute volume level. So for users who don't control the volume on the HTPC can you have an alternative option.

Maybe the volume button can be replaced with another useful button

(or)

When you press the volume toggle button it gives you three buttons at the button Vol + | Mute | Vol - . Option in the MP remote plugin to either
1. send MCE code or
2. run an external batch file with each button press.
