When I scan my music folder to my library, I cant seem to view my albums without having to first select "albums" in the album,genre,songs...list.
It seems as if the library is set to flatten on default.

In the end I just want to be able to select "listen to music" in the main page, and be able to see my albums collections (without having to select "albums").

Im sure i just missed something, but heres my log :http://pastebin.com/m2fe00ea4



*On a side note, Is it me or does viewing the albums in "coverflow" while in "Library" mode seem more stretched (picture seem vertically stretched) than viewing "coverflow" in "files" mode.

you need to edit the onclick of your button to do activatewindow(musiclibrary,albums) instead of just activatewindow(musiclibrary)

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

you use a text editor and do the change in the relevant xml file...

Go to your skins folder:

....XBMC\Skins\Aeon (or whichever is your skin)\720\


Then search through the XML files for activatewindow(musiclibrary) and replace with activatewindow(musiclibrary,albums).

I would recommend that you make a backup of the entire skin folder (not the skins folder) (e.g backup the Aeon folder) before you start editing the files.
