It's not an issue with the script, the script only follows the format that skin developers have set(due to thier limitations.) For instance, here is the code from Transparency! for extrafanart(music)
Code:
<imagepath background="true">$INFO[Skin.String(Music_Folder_Path)]$INFO[ListItem.Artist,,/extrafanart/]</imagepath>
What this does is create a path, using the supplied music path(given in settings) then adds the Artist name(as provided by XBMC's Music Library) then adds 'extrafanart'
so if your music path is: smb://TOWER/Music
the artist is: AC/DC(which is how it is provided by XBMC)
the final path is: smb://TOWER/Music/AC/DC/extrafanart.
I think this is really the only special case, I also have my AC/DC music in the folder ACDC(proper directory name
) I can change it, but then the extrafanart and the ClearLOGOs will not work for AC/DC
You might also find other folders pop up because XBMC does not always have the correct Artist Name - I had three ZZ Top directories(ZZ TOP, ZZTop ZZ Top) as XBMC recognizes all of them as proper. I fixed it by running MusicBrainz Picard on the offending files..
Actually, you might be scared of my music layout, it is quite a mess, mostly organized, but also has everything I have come across in the last year of troubleshooting the script on other people systems.. Thankfully XBMC does a pretty good job of keeping things visually orgainzed in its library.
