How fan art donwloading works - Page 2

Hi,

I have the last MP-TV-series plugging and your awesome monochrome skin 2.2.878

In the changelog i have seens this : Added support for MP-TVSeries Fan Art downloading.
But I can't figure out how it's working.

I read a few post on this forum and I saw something about the context menu (F9) where they would be an option to download the fan art but I have none.

Any help would be much apreciate, thanks.

I have deleted the cache folder in All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal, re launched mp but no change, I have tried to reload the skin too but still nothing

I was wondering if by any chance I need a specific plugging enable? Since my recent installation I have seen new general pluggings like "Extra menu" which I have enabled by the way.

Another thing, but really doubt it has something to do with it but I have the SP3. It just that every time I launch the config it tells me that I have a beta SP3 and therefor I must not submit bug report.

You need a version of MP TV-series that's no longer available from the repository nor their new Google-page.

I've attached it to this post. Do a backup of your current .dll. Also, you might experience crashes on startup if you add video files to your watched folders that the plugin hasn't already found. So I recommend that you use this plugin, enable/download the artwork you need, then revert back to the stable .dll.

I gonna try that, thanks

It's working, thanks a lot to both of you for your replies.
Let's hope they will fix the problem so everyone can enjoy this.

ThaClown on another subject, I saw that the layout of the tv-series.xml you gave me is different from the one in the current release of monochrone, is it your doing?
I'm curious because most of the fan art available for download fit better with yours.

I like it, it just a bit wierd on series with not many season yet, like 1 or 2.

Something bother me still

I have downloaded a few fan arts to test and with this version of mp it doesn't randomly display them anymore. It always the same one.

I thought they were an option somewhere for this, but I can't find it, only for random banner.
I m guessing that something related to the skin?

You have to turn the random fanart on. That control is available in the "download fanart screen". Press F9 and it's right under "download and use".
