Here goes, let me explain below:Browse Series:<a href="http://img427.imageshack.us/my.php?image=conceptseries4ks.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img427.imageshack.us/img427/4020/conceptseries4ks.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>As you can see this is basically the same as the original concept. It uses the header-bg images from tv.com as the hover image for the respective series. If no such image can be found, it should simply be read out the series name.I think displaying a grid of 2x3 is a good compromise, and by going with horzontal scrolling (via those left/right buttons) allows for quick selection of the correct series.As you select a diffferent series (hover) the info below updates, showing relevant information for that series.  All the info displayed is available on tv.com and im sure is being parsed already. One thing that might be interesting to add here that is not in the concept would be fields that hold:Number of Episodes:unwatched Episodes:Upon clicking ok on a series above, one is taken to the following screen:<a href="http://img308.imageshack.us/my.php?image=conceptepisodes2yb.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/7909/conceptepisodes2yb.th.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>This screen again is very easy to navigate, allowing for horizontal scrolling of seasons. Below that again, we have the individual episodes listed, again updating when the season is changed.What is missing here is probably a back button, to take the user back to the series selection screen. Also, maybe an indication if the episode was watched yet.Speaking of which, once one enters this screen, the program should probably automatically select the first unwatched episode for you, so say you add the latest lost season2 episode to your collection, once you click lost on the previous page, the tool figures out that you have seen all episodes except lets say 2x14 and initializes this screen with season 2 and automatically selects episodes 14 for you.As an addition thing, one could add another horizontal scroll function next to the series image header, allowing the user to change series also within that screen.Again, I do not claim this to be the "god" of ui, it is just a concept.Now, whats important here is that this is not yet possible with MP, at least not to my knowledge. But I think it would be cool and also open up more possibilities for other plugins.So what do you think?Inker</blockquote>
