It's bd3d as I said (not BR3D), but it's probably better to just search for 3D because there a few less common tags but all of them have 3D somewhere in the string.

I'm working on merging in your changes now. Stoli, I'll push these changes up to you shortly. I'll just include them in my previous pull request if you don't pull it in before I'm done.

Done.

I'm not going to do this for a couple of reasons. First, the Artist Logo function has been (at least temporarily) removed because the way it was implemented depended on:
1) The user's music is all in one place,
2) The top-level of said place contains Artist directories.
This is often not the case and just causes a bad user experience when it doesn't work.
Secondly, the space below the fan art contains the CDArt when a song is playing. This is easily worked around but I'm not going to bother because of the first reason.

Ok, Pull request #74 now includes Steveb's new DialogAlbumInfo as well as both of Amra's new media flag icons.

Yep no probs, I understand, all my music is in one folder so works great for me
, but I think you misunderstood the location of the Artist logo..![[Image: Logo1.png]](http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz194/Stonie68/XBMC/Logo1.png){kind=logo}

Yeah, I did, sorry. Just wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to that particular bit because the functionality isn't there right now anyway.
If someone wants to implement it correctly (it can be done, but it's probably going to be difficult to do right), they're welcome to do so. It should be done similarly to how the Artwork Downloader stuff is implemented for TV Shows. Hard-coding paths and such is not a very good idea, especially since XBMC allows any number of sources.

RE: [WIP] Metropolis skin - Steveb - 2012-04-26 01:57
Yes I agree that hard-coded paths are not a good idea, but thats the way artist logos are handled in other skins (Transparency.. ect..), its a bit of a workaround and I'll have a look at it, but I think if you have your music spread across multi-pal sources your out of luck

Honestly, I haven't thought it all through since I've been working on other issues lately, but it does work for TV Shows with multiple sources. I believe it could be done for music as well, but again.. I haven't yet thought it through.
If it's important enough to people I'll put some thought into it over the next couple weeks. But I have other issues (here and at my real job) that I have to tend to at the moment.
If nothing else, making the user specify the source again in the skin configuration is just bad form, IMHO.

edit: you've tickled my interest in solving a problem enough that I will look into this. but be patient with me please

Hey guys, awesome work.
I noticed a bug. Since I downloaded the latest commit, the audio channels flag is messed up. It's showing the fallback, 'NA', for all of my media files. Did someone rename the audio channel flag images? In Includes_MediaFlags2 it's looking for:
$INFO[ListItem.AudioChannels,flags/AudioChannels/,ch.png].
There's no 'ch' in the image name. I took the 'ch' out and it works again.
Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

D'oh, sorry about that. Didn't mean to commit that change actually. I'll fix it today.

RE: [WIP] Metropolis skin - Harlock1977 - 2012-04-27 16:54
Sorry, but I new here and have the following problem. First I must say that this skin is great. And now to my problem, I use the German language file. And in the video OSD, the word "Wiedergabe" is too long. How can I change that?
