So some of my video bumpers are louder than others. It can be kind of a shock when I turn up the volume for one and then be blasted by the next. I don't know if it would be possible, but if we could choose the volume level for each bumper that would be awesome! This would be for when you choose a specific file and not an entire folder because that would be too much randomness to deal with.

When we are able to submit PreShow Experience to the official Kodi Repo, would it be possible to have the XML files edited to remove the loading icon in between sequences automatically? Or maybe have an option to do so within PreShow. This is an area I am very unfamiliar with so I thought I'd ask in case that was possible.
I understand that there are skins with XML files already edited that we can download here, but if we were able to choose that as an option within PreShow that could save a lot of time an headache having to edit every XML file for every skin requested. Just a thought.
Thank you.

Earlier I requested that we be able to play individual parts of the sequence so that we could test to make sure each video is playing what you want it to and that the video actually works, instead of either having to watch the whole sequence while skipping to where you are wanting to test, or disabling everything and keeping your one part of the sequence enabled.
I thought that if we just have a quick "Enable/Disable All" button it would be easy to quickly disable all parts of the sequence and then go in and enable the one part you are wanting to test.  I thought this might be a good workaround if my other request (here) isn't viable.

When I am editing a sequence I have it play certain files for almost everything to keep it related to holidays such as Christmas or Halloween.  Audio bumpers for example.  When I add an audio bumper to the sequence, the menu where you are able to edit, rename, copy, move, disable/enable, and remove it would be nice to have a "Play" option so that you could play that individual part of the sequence.  This would help when I'm wondering if that specific audio bumper is what I wanted.  Since I have so many I forget which ones are which and being able to play that individual part of the sequence would be nice to quickly see if it was what I was looking for.
This could be helpful with many things such as trivia and being able to quickly see if it's the right trivia you want, or trailers, intermission and all those other parts of the sequence.  Being able to quickly view what you just added instead of having to watch the whole sequence to get to that part would be nice.

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.
