You can get a list of the keys that are used to navigate the various categories for the particular section and then can get the xml for those by going to the following:
http://192.168.0.108:32400/library/sections/6
Replace the number 6 and the ip address that correspond to your particular library section and server address respectively.
You'll then get something that looks like the following.
<MediaContainer size="15" allowSync="0" art="/:/resources/show-fanart.jpg" content="secondary" identifier="com.plexapp.plugins.library" mediaTagPrefix="/system/bundle/media/flags/" mediaTagVersion="1365380984" nocache="1" sortAsc="1" thumb="/:/resources/show.png" title1="TV Shows" viewGroup="secondary" viewMode="65592">
<Directory key="all" title="All Shows"/>
<Directory key="unwatched" title="Unwatched"/>
<Directory key="newest" title="Recently Aired"/>
<Directory key="recentlyAdded" title="Recently Added"/>
<Directory key="recentlyViewed" title="Recently Viewed Episodes"/>
<Directory key="recentlyViewedShows" title="Recently Viewed Shows"/>
<Directory key="onDeck" title="On Deck"/>
<Directory secondary="1" key="collection" title="By Collection"/>
<Directory secondary="1" key="firstCharacter" title="By First Letter"/>
<Directory secondary="1" key="genre" title="By Genre"/>
<Directory secondary="1" key="year" title="By Year"/>
<Directory secondary="1" key="contentRating" title="By Content Rating"/>
<Directory key="folder" title="By Folder"/>
<Directory prompt="Search for Shows" search="1" key="search?type=2" title="Search Shows..."/>
<Directory prompt="Search for Episodes" search="1" key="search?type=4" title="Search Episodes..."/>
</MediaContainer> You can then get the XML say for the unwatched category by navigating to the following:
http://192.168.0.108:32400/library/sections/6/unwatched
The same can be done for each of the XML.
I suspect that we are running into a situation where something isn't being returned with an empty MediaContainer, and the Progress Dialog isn't getting dismissed correctly. So if we can get snapshots of the problem categories on the library that is giving problems, I can try to work a fix into 1.2.2 or 1.2.3.

I have an issue where I go into one of my library sections, and it hangs. Depending on what category it is on, it is either stuck on "retrieving shows" (categories like all and unwatched), or it crashes/stucks in a loop in other categories (categories like latest and new)
I've included the xml files as requested
