 Also, is there a way to display actual stars instead of asterisks?You can 
 currently change the rating character in the TrackStat
settings but its limited to the characters available in the default
font and I'm not sure if there are any star character available there.
The problem is also that is must work both on player display and in the
web interface. 

However, as I have understand it should be possible for a plugin to
provide its own fonts/characters and this way it might possible to do
something in TrackStat to show real stars instead of asterix
characters. I'll add it to the TrackStat wish list as something to
investigate sometime in the future.

Here. here. MusicInfo lets me fine-tune my display to show exactly what
I'm most interested in seeing while music's playing, and what I like to
see when I tap Now Playing.

MusicInfo is awesome.

MusicInfo is interesting. I installed it a couple of weeks ago, but I
don't think I'll use it, mainly because I love the analog VU screen
saver.

When I started, the website said rewards for significant 
contribution.  They are good on their word.  There was also a plugin 
contest a few years back rewarding third party work.  And of course, 
the occasional third party dev ends up being hired. I can think of 4 
without much effort.

I agree, I've contributed and received very fair reward.

Open Source Slimserver is very cool.

With SaverSwitcher, you could use both of them. Set the 1st
SaverSwitcher when playing saver to MusicInfo for 10 seconds and the
2nd to Analog VU for something like 10 minutes and, after an initial 10
seconds of MusicInfo, you'll only see the VU, until the next song
starts, or you press 0 on the remote to go back to MusicInfo for 10
seconds, or 1 on the remote to only use MusicInfo.

 None of the title formats options are fully satisfying. Is there a way
 to customize them?

look in server settings, formatting.  you can set up the list of 
choices there, then in player settings you have access to those.
