There's still a few quirks that should be fixed/improved. I'll point out some that I found on my limited testing time today.
- The Recent list for TV shows does not include Episode or Season numbers. I think that is a minus.
- Music in mixed lists with more artists should use [Name] by [Artist] caption. Otherwise, there will be very very hard to spot certain artists in for example playing now.
- The Music Videos should have the same caption rules as Music
- The "Episode" item on the info pane is wrong. It shows Season and Episode. That is confusing and plain wrong. I think a label free "Season X Episode x" would be a lot better. Or SXXEXX if the space is an issue.
- The Shown check mark is really misplaced. The standard of the placement is on the left or right side of the caption. Preferably at a small distance from the rest of the text so it's easily separated and read. A way of aligning a custom graphical element on for example on the far right side of the captions would be very nice. The item would appear next to the caption in case of space issues. I think at the very least this check mark should not be squeezed between other text elements.
- It would be nice if the Watched indicator was based on more than one value. A possible solution is here:

These ratings are default in MC now, and they should be used where they are needed. Browsing through all movies just to see the ratings on them is WAY to much trouble. The same goes for Music. Music should have Rating stars as well, to spot the most liked tracks easily.
Other than this, I think these changes are really good. It will help significantly with the first impression for new users, as well as easier management for the picky guys.
A bit of topic, but still a view issue:
- The covers on the "Wall" style of views are still way to small to make it usable. The size are so much smaller than all other covers, so it's kind of hopeless unless you're really close to the screen and have a rather big size setting.
