Skins and "Media Browser" incompatibility?

The VLC Media Browser includes 5 items in its default menu:
"Playlist", "Media Library", "My computer", "Local Network", "Internet".
After installing a skin, whatever the skin, only "Playlist" and "Media Library" remain.
How to open the other items such as "My computer/My music" when a skin is installed?

Those entries are not yet implemented by default with the skins2 interface.
Nevertheless, you can configure vlc to start them automatically and skins2 will display them together with Playlist and Media Library. Just run vlc for instance like :
vlc -I skins -S audio_dir{longname=MyAudio},video_dir{longname=MyVideo},picture_dir{longname=MyPicture}

I didn't suceed with:
vlc -I skins -S audio_dir{longname=MyAudio},video_dir{longname=MyVideo},picture_dir{longname=MyPicture}
vlc is considering audio_dir... as a file to open. I'm not sure of the synthax. Could you give an example including only what is to be entered? Thanks.

You most probably forgot -S in front of audio_dir.
I just copied and pasted this command on Linux with vlc1.1.7. It works fine. On Windows, it also should work (maybe { needs to be escaped ?)
