thanks for your quick response. Looking at the 1st quary where you recomend that i use library mode instead of file mode. Thats basicly the root of my problem. You see in library mode, anything that didnt manage to pull a cover or fan art is omitted from the list, which is why i have to go back to video and view it in file mode so i can see ALL the files rather than just the ones i have cover art for. Maybe thats the solution too, to enable it to show the files that it didnt manage to pull art for, while in library mode (if thats even possible). that would save the need for me to use the video dir in filelist mode. The same issue also applies to the TV series tab. because as it is, both Movies and TV ommit a lot of files forcing me to use file mode in the video directory.
addressing your 2nd and 4th response, yes the view by date is an option in movies while in library mode. I dont know what i was thinking when i said it wasnt. I think its more to do with the other issue i have with it showing in the incorrect order in date added view. But as you pointed out, thats to do with XBMC, not the skin, i have no idea whats going on there as the order is only out when in library mode in the movie dir, but if i go to the video dir and view by file in date order, its correct. When in library view in movies, as it stands now, i have it set to show the latest movies at the top, but the top 5 are random dates and then the rest start at Z and work back to A which seems more alphabetic, but the 1st 5 throw me as they arent alphabetic or date ordered lol. Im just at a total loss to explain that issue im having.
As for issue 3, the fan art not showing up in the video dir. i should point out, thats only when in filelist, not library mode. As soon as i turn library view off, thats when i lose the fanart. Its just that fanart is still an option when in fileview. But there in lies my issue.
Filelist = see all movies in correct date order including the ones without coverart, but cant view fanart.
Library mode = See all fan art but the date order listing is incorrect, and files without coverart are excluded.
The above 2 scenarios are both from within the video tab and confirmed as i typed this.
I hope that all makes sense. You could probibly ignore all of what ive typed and read just the text in red if you want as it summs everything up in 1 hit. Im happy to provide any debugging logs you want, but is that just done by enabling debugging, then collecting the log? or is there a debug just for the skin that i can use. Also where does it store the log, i couldnt find it even with a search lol. Bloody windows indexing.
