[QUOTE="tomma123, post: 849393, member: 116355"] Can anyone tell me how the Genre field in Album view is meant to work? In the music database (MusicDatabaseV12.db3), the table that holds all the album related data is 'albuminfo'. One of the fields in that table is idGenre. There's also a table in the db called 'genre', that table has 2 fields, idGenre, and strGenre. My assumption was that albuminfo.idGenre = genre.genreID. So in other words, in my genre table if I have genreid 1 = Rock, and a particular album in the albuminfo table has a genreID of 1, then 'Rock' would show up in the Genre section, however, it doesn't. Actually no matter what I put in the albuminfo.genreId field, it doesn't show up. I've tried with a few different skins, StreamedMP, Backdrop, Default and DefaultWide but I get the same behavior in all of them. I have the artist level genre working, that's just whatever is in the artistInfo.strGenres field shows up on the page, but can't seem to get it working at the album level. Am I missing something? Thanks [/QUOTE]
