I have a few DTS albums and was wondering if it was possible to get them into the library. They doesn't get added when Updating library normally like MP3 and WMA does...
spiff?
no tags so they cannot be libraried

Yeah I know there are no tags...
Feature request then... some way to get it to be libraried. for example an xml file containing the files and some tags located within the dir and named so xbmc will pick it up.
<artist>xxx</artist>
<album>yyy</album>
<tracks>
...
</tracks>
or something
would be nice. thanks
maybe IF i run into the issue myself one day i might add it.
until then; patch welcome

jm, well I have a dts file per song and not one file with all tracks in it. afaik the cuesheet spec does not allow multiple lines with FILE or am I mistaken?
spiff, guess that hug is not totally out of the question yet hehe

It should work with multiple FILE lines - there was a patch added to SVN to enable that about a month ago.

jm, ok but how is the syntax exactly then? I did search the wiki and read the cuesheet specs found via google
tnx

No idea - take a look at the patch (it'll be closed now) on SourceForge - no doubt it has an example file there somewhere.

The cuesheet does not get scanned into the library?
When I play the cuesheet it works fine, except it starts with the last track and not the first?
