Added the following to the OP:
---
Service Add-Ons

Library Watchdog: This add-on watches your media sources for new files, and automatically updates XBMC's library when it finds them.
----

If anyone uses additional service add-ons I'll add them to the list.

Also, if you're on iOS make sure to check out the Official Remote app. It's free, and way faster than any other remote app I've tried before. XBMC Commander always took 10 seconds or so to bring up a list of music, for example, where as this one does it instantly. Highly recommended.

I've been using XBMC Constellation, and it's decent, but it does have a bit of lag when starting up and connecting to my XBMC box. I'll give the official app a try. Thanks!

I started using Transparency as my main skin because I love how it looks when scrolling films and having the large fan art showing. Does any other skin do it as nice as Transparency?

Lots of skins have fanart-centric views if thats what you mean.

Yeah, with very minimal menus is what I'm aiming for. Transparency has been the best so far, unless you guys know of others that do it as well.

It doesn't, from Frodo to Gotham, from what I read last night. I had to do it manually. Super simple process, though. Took a couple minutes and two reboots.

Do you just put the tar file in the Update folder and then reboot twice?

Excellent. Thanks guys! Looking forward to this.

Has anyone gotten a USB TV tuner to work with OpenELEC? I have one of these:

But I highly doubt it would work with OpenELEC.

I absolutely love the MetroTV skin for Gotham, but am I correct in seeing there have not been any updates for it in a long time? Just making sure I'm not missing anything. There's some minor bugs that annoy me, but it's one of the best skins out there.

Github shows last update was a month ago. Is that as far back as you had thought? You could report bugs to the developer here. http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=138997 He seems to still be actively responding as of the 4th.

Hmm, no I think my version is older than that. I'll update from Github and see if bugs have been fixed. Thanks!

Just checking, but you did know that it wasn't going to automatically update in XBMC right? Also given that it's beta be sure to report said bugs.

Yeah, I knew it wasn't going to auto update, but I was able to download the zip off the XBMC/Kodi forum. Didn't realize it was being updated via Github.
