"My Video" Listen to Soundtrack option

[MnC_]

hi,

i own alot of soundtracks .. and thought it would be nice to be able to play it from "my video" section ..
e.g. while reading imdb info ..

i know its overcompleting xbmc .. but why not ?

sincerely, mnc_

music should not be in the movies section... even if it is music that was made for a movie.

as far as i can tell, imdb does not store soundtrack info. so in order for you to get what you want, you'd need to be able to tell the database that that album is linked to a specific movie.

...seems unnecessary to me but the simplest way to do this is...

download the imdb info for the movie and place a file in the albums folder. when a song plays, it would look for the file ( imdb.txt or something) and then display that info and play the album.

any other method is more much complex and such a small percentage of music that i cannot see why the devs would do it.

hi,

true about the first part .. i do not want to c mp3's in "my video's" either .. just want to play the ost of the movie, maybe switch to "my music" when pressed "play ost"

secondly its kinda because i want to know which video's i do (not) have the soundtrack for ..

probable solution:

but what if the users stores the soundtrack in e.g.:
constantine.avi <dir> if he owns the movie "constantine.avi"

(same dir only so no scanning is needed)

thanx, mnc_

what you want is the music database to contain more information, the movie info.

doable but again such a small percentage of music is associated with a movie, not sure it is a good way to spend the limited dev time. they are pretty busy fixing bugs and adding features that a large percentage of users want.

but, if you can convince a dev... you're there!

just add music extensions to video extensions allowed in xboxmediacenter.xml then all your music will show in movie section
