Music Videos show up in Music Video Library under "Title" but not under each artist

kiboy6 · 2009-12-10 12:06

I used YANG (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=36167) to create a nfo for each of my music dvds that i want to show up as Music Videos under XBMC.

It works great, except that the files only show up in the library if i view all titles. If i try to sort by artist, each artist folder that corresponds to the artist from each nfo is present, but there is no video file within each artists library folder.

The nfos look like this:

<musicvideo>
<title>Live. Light it Up Tour</title>
<artist>R. Kelly</artist>
</musicvideo>

Any reason anyone can think of why they won't show up under each artist's folder in Music Videos?

Thanks Smile

This is from an nfo I know to be working (No idea where I got it from originally).
<artist>
<name>R. Kelly</name>
</artist>

Which does not agree with the wiki, please let me know if it works and I will fix there.

I do not have time to look into this now, But i have working examples of your method on my PC (other was nfo from my Xbox which I do not have access to atm).

Thanks sho - i will try modifying nfos as you suggested when i get back to the HTPC later on today and report back Smile

HI sho...well I tried that out and it still made no difference Sad

Any other ideas? Thanks!

Apparently both are valid, and both work fine for me.
Does it work the same in the music and video libraries?

All I can think of right now is adding the album to the nfo.
There was some kind of a problem with music videos missing the album in previous versions, what version are you using?

Using Camelot Beta 2 now, although was using b1 when I originally posted Smile

Same prob in music and music video libraries.

Modified nfo to add album field and still no joy....

Thanks for the efforts anyway Smile

Don't know if this is a skin issue, or something else. But whenever I try to view by artist in music videos it just wont show anything. It shows the artists just a dead end whenever they are selected.

here is the debug log.

Code:

Useless without version information. Please post a full debug log.
