hi, 1st off gotta say, great skin, its now my skin of choice over aeon

right, my question. Im trying to get cdart working for all my albums but ive run into a problem. Its concerning the band AC/DC. The readme for transparency says the band title and album title have to be the same in xbmc and the folder name. Im having trouble with this as the band in xbmc is under AC/DC but the folder is called AC-DC due to windows not allowing you to have slashes in file names. how do i work around this?

thanks

You need to find a program to edit your ID3 tags for your music. I would suggest mediamonkey.

or just search the forums for "AC/DC"

Hi,
[intro]first I'll take this extra typing-effort to say THANKS RONIE this is how I would have liked(& possibly made) a skin {[(not consistency...come on!)]}
I just had that annoying white screen issue, so I went back to version 1. Now I'm retesting everything. [/intro]
Is it possible that this same problem happens for folder/album names with brackets? I tested with (e.g.) "King Of Pop (Deluxe UK Edition) (Disc1)" which is both folder name and album tag, but the cdart doesn't load. If so, is there a solution other than renaming everything or what does it depend on?

bye

P.S. I know editing those files is a reasonable solution - but iTunes store seems to like to use brackets a lot, so...

it only depends on the 'artist' and 'album' tag being exactly the same as the folder names.
i don't see any problems with brackets on my end.

the easiest way to figure out why it's failing is the enable debug logging.
if xbmc fails to load a cdart image, check the log and you should see something similar to:

ERROR: Texture manager unable to load file: /home/xbmc/Media/MusicFolder/Cars/Just What I Needed (The Cars Anthology)/cdart.png
