Quote:It's a custom skin setting. it allows users to specify the path to their music folder.
To use it, you would have add it to the 'Advanced - Extended Aeon Options' Section.
ronie Wrote:you mean guisettings.xml ?
this is the relevant line:
<setting type="string" name="Transparency!.music_folder_path">/home/xbmc/Media/Music/</setting>
if you store your music on a network drive, it should be something like this:
<setting type="string" name="Transparency!.music_folder_path">smb://Servername/Media/Music/</setting>

Quote:remove the slash and put it at the end:if you see the line comment it after that one it doesnt have the slash at the end and that line works.
$INFO[Skin.String(cdart_path)]$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]/</imagepath>
Quote:there should be a slash at the end:already tried but it make no sense because one slash at the end plus the one in the multiimage control it would make something like this
<setting type="string" name="Aeon Auriga.cdart_path">smb://MEDIASERVER/Music/</setting>
smb://MEDIASERVER/Music//Akon/

*Akon is a random artist example
also the real slash on the smb share are back slash no forwardslash if you see in the sources.xml, but that would conflict with the forward slash of the artist path. anyway i tried both ways, if could test ti that would be great.
Thanks
