How seamless will this be? The lacking support of having multiple libraries is really a downer when coming from a front end that did support it (ie: Meedio)..
I would like to have numerous libraries (one for my movies, one for my daughter's movies, one for ufc events, etc) but XBMC just supports one movie library and one tv library..
Are there any plans to implement a multiple library system?
Thanks

This is exactly what I've been looking for a long time now.
Specially the ability to add or customize your own genres.
And I suspect that it's a highly wanted feature among most users.
I hope this feature will see the day sometime soon.

Greetings.
I've been messing around with XBMC and I'm loving it so far. Though, I have a slight problem. I've checked the wiki but I couldn't find an answer for it.
I have a few instructional DVD's I've picked up over the years. I've been trying to build a seperate library for them with nfo files in the same folder with the actual video files. But I didn't quite succeed. They ended up under movies library.
Is it possible to have a seperate library for them under videos section?
Also, this I believe is kind of a "noob" question but does XBMC support custom tag under XML files... like <subjects> instead <genre> ? If I remember right, XML is all about having the tags you want.. though I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance.
edit: I hope, this was the right section to post. If not, I'm sorry! :o

XBMC creates just ONE library for my entire collection of movies....This creates a problem because my collection contains two different movie folders - one for english and one for french.
Is it possible to create two different libraries one for each language and search each library seperately?
Any ideas?

It's only applicable for the Horizonz skin I think.
I use PM3.HD and I'm also struggling with the fact of multiple libraries.
I hope it will be possible to inject location information into the movie information which library mode uses to filter its views (e.g. year, genre, ... => Folder (i.e. location/share)). This would be perfect and no use to switch profiles.

Aeon then uses a different name for the home screen xml file.
I am no skinner, but a very quick look in the Aeon folder suggests Home.xml (which btw should be the same for PM3.HD)
Edit: a qick 'n dirty test search suggests DialogButtonMenu.xml, no guarantees though.
There is a plethora of Aeon mods kicking around to get ideas from.
There is a lot of examples on this forum and in the online manual on how to modify PMIII (and PM3.HD).

Thanks for explaining, I understand it would be a lot of groundwork but its definitely worth it. Letting people customise the menus and create multiple libraries was always meedio's strength. Having moved to XBMC full time now it really is the only thing holding it back, but it is a limitation of this software.
Is there a solution for separating albums and singles? In the same way I would like seperate menu items for music albums, music singles and maybe compilation cds.
