Not sure if you want us to post here Jim, but how about the much improved MadVR support?

Well it's there and it works (unlike  M15's support of MadVR)  but it's not totally stable yet... but hey it's BETA software.... :)

Which fields can be set to relational?  Style, Chartdata, Mood, Genre would be at the top of my list. 
Is there a Wiki on using these fields?

Thanks!

Can you please explain this a bit?  How does this change from v15?

thanks

Also,
Gizmo -- Video conversion allows playback of JRiver TV and other video.  Uses DirectShow filter graph.

Awesome, I'm looking forward to trying this, hopefully tonight!

Is there a list of video types that work well for streaming?  or ones that won't work?

Woohoo this will be great, you also might want to stress this now that Netflix has that $8 streaming only offer.

Any thoughts on pulling IMDB info?  I think this would be a great feature to have.  Right now my info loads from mymovies and it would be great if there was a link or you pulled imdb info that could be viewed right in theatre view.

Still no idea when JRM is able to use location tagging in images in a proper way so one can use de geotags in all geotagged images?
Country, State, City, Location and Sublocation would be a great start. (Not in a combined field like it;s used now)

"Artist Images -- View your Artists with artist photos instead of album covers."

This is great, I've been waiting ages for this feature, can you confirm if we can do the same thing on the video library, so we can represent the series field with a image of the dvd cover art, instead of screenshots from the chapters inside that series.

I believe it's only audio at this point.  Video may happen.

Might you consider extending the Library Server Sync support to also include view changes?

With the new Gizmo features getting so cool, I am thinking of re-organizing my setup to a closet server running Library Server. But i'm a bit reluctant to commit myself to using remote desktop whenever I need to change a view.
