Hi
i see there is a folder with images for different genres for movies and music
how do i set the movies and music to use this images?
thanx
they're enabled by default...but only used in list view when browsing your music/video collection by genre.
I dont see it enabled
when i used the list view
they arraneged by name size or date
on the left side menu, disable 'Flatten'.
now you will be able to browse your movies through th 'Genre' entry.
what exactly does flatem means?
ill try it when i get home and update
ok, this is the xbmc Library stucture:

Quote:Videos
\_Movies
[INDENT]\_Title

[INDENT]\_Genre

[INDENT]\_Year

[INDENT]\_...

\_Music Videos

if you enable 'Flatten', it will hide the entries in bold.
I tryed to look for the flatten everywhere and couldnt find it
the only place i saw that is where im on my movies in te home screen and when i click on new at the right there is this option but it doesnt seem to change anything
where exactly i have this option i need to change?
thanx
Hi
ok now i see the genre but i dont see different image for each genre
how do i set it up using the genre folder?
it should work out-of-the-box, but check if this is enabled:
Settings > Skin Settings > Icons > Movies - use genre icons

movie genre icons only work in library mode, using list view:

if it's not working on your end, maybe you've got some odd genre names...
Debug Log & screenshot would give me some clues.
I can see the lists of genres but there are no icons
i need to set a path somewhere to these images?
Here is a screen shot

well good morning to you too!

you obviously got lost in the wrong forum.
PM3.HD support is three doors down the hall on your left.
I wasnt wrong i just showed it using a different skin
im using transparency andhave the same problem

sure, but why?
genre icons are a skin specific feature. they're not implemented in PM3.HD.

ok, post a debug log of you browsing through the genres.
as far as i can tell from the screenshot, you've got everything set up right.
if you highlight the 'Action' list item, the icon should change.
