Feature Request

For those of us that use trailers and shorts that aren't stored in the kodi library (just a dump of files in a folder), it would be nice to be able to tag files with genre, rating etc for filtering so that they can still be displayed when genre matching and rating limits are active.

There’s nothing quite like playing a sequence for a movie night and feeling that complete immersion. Unfortunately there’s always a loading icon between every transition of the sequence and that takes away from the true theater experience.
As far as UI goes, is there a way to hide/remove this icon?
 Another thought would be that we can somehow make each upcoming part of the sequence be cached while the part in front of it is playing.
Any other ideas are welcome. These were just a couple off the top of my head.

If running times for all parts of a sequence were known before the sequence started, a custom card could be created from overlaying a template graphic with the number of minutes left until the feature.

if remote databases for pse were doable, it would make sharing sequences between multiple clients much easier, as long as network paths were preserved--also would allow for scheduled db updates from a headless client or another machine.

In the current CV experience, I find it unclear what conditions have to be set to get the desired outcome of sequence selected. I understand it better now than i did at first, but it's something I had to spend an annoying amount of time trying to understand how it worked...and even then, I'm still not sure it was right, but i managed to find a 'medium' with it to make it work based of genre. 
For example, If I were to set a sequence to base off of a tag = marvel AND genre = action and all other fields are set to 'any' , it's not clear what field takes precedence and it gets further complicated when you have multiple values in multiple parameters at play. I guess in short, I'm asking for something as a weighted system for conditions that the user can see and identify that if i have parameters a,b,c with values x,y,z that the 'christmas' sequence will be triggered. 
along with this, some error handling or fallback sequence to trigger in the event that the condition failed. 
Hope this makes sense, but feel free to ask for clarification and i can include screenshots. 

Would there be a way to add an action file that turns the home theater lights on once the end credits begin to roll, perhaps either by running an action file once the final chapter begins? Or perhaps, if a specific text file exists in the title's source directory (eg. lights-on.pse) containing nothing but a user-defined timestamp, at which point an action file to turn the lights on is then run? This would be helpful for titles that have no chapter markers or the desired time to turn the lights on it to wait until after a mid-credit scene.

It would be great if a future release had the ability to select a specific folder(s) for a sequence. For example, if using a sequence geared toward the horror genre we would select folder(s) that contain trivia about horror movies.
