This has work fine for scanning my music into kodi. When madnox asks for path to music library I have it set to the cdart directory where the cdart script ads the logos.
I thinking it would be better to set my path to each source as I have in Kodi, But no sure if that's possible and the best way to do it.

You sir, are a legend!!! Thank-you

It's seems to be working like a charm. Looks great!

Really impressed with how this works.
Ive just noticed a small glitch...If no cdart exists, the writing on the disc is also spinning in the bottom left corner. (as below)



Another general question.... when grabbing logo/cdart/artist backgrounds. Does the program request images in any sort of order eg. logo then cdart etc, or is it random.?
I've noticed sometimes artwork pulls through quickly & other times it can take 30 secs+ to load.
I wondered if it was easy to configure it to grab the small files logo/cdart & then the backgrounds. Just a thought, not sure it it is something you can change?

How did you add your audiobook folder as a fie list? The only way I've seen to add it was as a video folder? Is there another was to navigate to it?

Your file structure isn't going to work in Madnox in anyway unfortunately. It is designed to generally have Artist @ level 2 so for your's to work you would have to have:

MP3 > Artist > Album

It can only use a 3 level folder structure, yours is 4. Not sure why you would want 26 music folders and sources, seems alot of work?. Please note most other skins will probably be the same as well with regards to how your music should be built @ folder level, but if you aren't willing to re-structure your music folders then you won't get the full Madnox music artwork benefits.

You would then set the path to MP3 and the structure to Artist/Album. Then Madnox would be able to get the artwork. But Madnox is in a transition with Music and artwork, meowmoo is converting parts to use the Ski,Helper addon and it music mechanisms but he's doing this bit by bit. So some might still use old method i.e. setting the path and structure, some might use the new method which I believe you need to still set a patch in Skin.helper settings. Not looked much into it as busy with other stuff right now.

Thanks Mike , that 4 level format started along time ago (10 years or more) prior to Kodi or xbmc. Since its a large music library at the time it was done to make it easier to navigate no so any more. I have nursed it this far but its time to change it to 3 levels. I have liked the work that meowmoo has done. Now if I can just find where skin helper settings are.

Art is not requested in any order, it is accessed in various different ways in various different views. Where is it sometimes taking 30+ secs to load? In a view? if so which view? in the home screen?

When saying things are slow it would help if you let us know where you are exactly and what you are doing when it is slow?

EDIT : Sorry couldn't see the issue on the left, will add it to the list, thanks.
