DeVicious, you are expressing exactly what I feel !  

In one of my support/incident calls WD answered to to the topic

"Not having the Music-ID3 tags in albumplayback.xml (when libary turned off)":

It is a feature of the WD TV to only have this with the libary on turned , oh dear

I feel your pain Steffen,

I got the sorting order solved now for music, my original media play on the computer is itunes which has the neat setting "keep folder sorted" which means it creates folders for artists and their albums which means I don't really need the artist name in the mp3 file since i brought all my tags up to date. I used a program called tag scanner (essentially the same as mp3tag) and renamed all my files in one minutes like this %track% %Title%

now all my music is sorted by track sorting order due to the numbers in front of the title.

JOEY (calling out the master)

is there a way to create a button or programm the remote in order to jump directly to the library settings menu?

One question about Dev's  statement on the first page:

" ...  Why can the gallery view read out an xml file and the other views can't ...".

In the view options/info of metadata_view_info.xml we can read the stocked XML-data,

but only if libary is turned on.

Does it mean in the gallary view we can read XML data with libary turned "off" ?

most of it like the stuff you see in the meta_info

[Steffen_2009]

Yes, I agree for movies.

But what do we get in case of using our machine for music ?

I guess most of us are simply nothing at the moment, exept the people who have the biography or album reviews manually imported.

the folder and file names

turn it off and test it, you know the anser faster as typing your question in here

[Steffen_2009]

Hehehe, yes the folder and file names - amazing 

And of course we get "nothing" if the libary is turned off ... even more impressive

Most parts of the libary are really  a big  *beep* at the moment.

no you misunderstood

the hub has the capability to show the folder names and file names with library turned off

I don't know who is actually using it in their themes but I know I did

[Steffen_2009]

Very kind of you Dev, to give me clarification about it.
