[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1133887, member: 109222"] Hi. I really would love to see such a screen. But I have some concerns about practical usage... How do you think this will work? As soon as you enter the Group Menu the focus is on the menu and no longer on the media item. So no media item is selected at all. And you need to have a way to navigate to the Group Menu without using the normal "cursor up" as with this the selection goes up too. The average HTPC user is navigating with a remote and not with mouse/keyboard. In case of a playing media I can clearly see how this is working but if you want to have more informations before you play the media, I think this will be hard to achieve... I think a probably easier way to have this is to "extend" the "context menu", means if you press "info" on remote (or the right mouse button) this screen should appear. And for this it must have the previous options available there too (like setting the item unwatched and similar). This could be done by an extra tab, so I don't see much design flaws in this.
