[MOD] Night.Purity

Hi KiSUAN!
Im very impressed by your skin.
Before I found it I preffered Transparency! but these enormous customisation options are absolutely wonderful.
I also watched your tut video about adding a homemenu button for audiobooks.
I did everything like in the video but if I go into the menu button Audiobooks the folder is empty.
I tried different settings but nothing changes.
Do you know which mistake I do?

I read Post 175 but it didnt help me solving the problem... still dont know what to do

Hi There,
now its working, but dont know what ive changed... Maybe it was the add to database button.
My Problem now is: How should I sort my Audiobooks.
My books on my server are in this structure: Artist/Album/Tracks (CD1,CD2,CD3...)
The order in xbmc Audiobook is (as you know) Album/Tracks
Is there an option to arrange them like my Audiobook folder?

for me would be to set the whole folder "Audiobooks" from my server as a menu button. If I could get some cover working it would be perfect for me.
Maybe someone could help me with that.

For the Audiobooks to work, You must 1st you must go and edit all your audiobook files "ID3" tags (be it that they can support ID3 tags, - MP3/MP4/FLAC/APE all can - I have found that "MediaMonkey" is the best software for doing that). And set the Genre tag to "Audiobook (or whatever you like).

Then add the folder where all you Audiobook files are located as a "Source" for Audio files like you would with music when adding them to the Library.

Then just follow my steps in the video

Yes. Just make sure that the ID3 tag of the files have the "Disc" number added. I Have "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" books and they are spread over a few CDs worth. So when you look at the images below. You should be able to see how you should "ID3-tag" your files.

I Know it is a pain to go and re-tag all your files. But it is worth it in the long term.

Oh thank you very mouch!
My Music and Audiobook Collection is well tagged at all :-)
I also have mediamonkey but for little Corrections and Cover I use Tag&Rename instead.
I use 2 categories "Hoerbuecher" and "Hoerspiele" (Yes I'm german :-) )
First is Audiobooks, second is the Story as Dialouge with Soundeffects and so...
So the only thing I have to edit is the Disc Field.
But I cant believe that this is the reason for XBMC nothing to add to my Smart Playlist...

Hey just a quick request. (feel free to shoot me down)
But I was wondering if it would be possible to have the showcase view have an option for square icons.

Just a bumboing as this will need some looking at when Eden comes

Just dropping by to say hi, my trip is almost finished, getting back to Uruguay the 14 of december, so I hope I can start working again in the mod asap. Will check whats new with eden, in proper night skin, the requests, pending stuff I like to add and thank you oddsodz for the replays.
