Fanart Handler Plugin v2.2.3.197 (and music fanart scraper) | Page 4

Hi cul8er!

I'm still seeing black fanart in some occasions. I'm not sure if it's skin or FanartHandler problem.

MediaPortal: SVN
FanartHandler: v2.2.3.197 for MePo SVN
Skin: Black Glass Nova for MePo 1.2 - latest SVN (blackglass - Project Hosting on Google Code)

Last time I checked I saw black backgrounds in OnlineVideos and MyVideos (shares view).

No suspicious log messages but I can include log files later

Thanks!

Hi SilentException,

Thanks for your report.

1. Please add the exact title and foldername of the movie that causes the black fanart.
2. Please attach the fanart jpg you have for this movie.

And I will have a good way of trying to track this problem.

best regards
cul8er

Hi cul8er, dunno if you have seen this little conversation http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/b...portal-1-2-0-svn-88760/index9.html#post690068

As I described there, problem with no fanart in my videos movie info screen (windoId 2003) is that selected item for that screen returns null and fanart can't be displayed. I tried to implement that screen in your plugin so what I did is following:

in file FanartSelected.cs I added at line 180:

Code (text):

else if (GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == 6622)
{
    FanartHandlerSetup.SelectedItem = GUIPropertyManager.GetProperty("#selecteditem2");
}
[COLOR=Red]else if (GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindow == 2003)
{
    FanartHandlerSetup.SelectedItem = GUIPropertyManager.GetProperty("#title");
}[/COLOR]
 

and in file RefreshWorker.cs line 223:

Code (text):

if (windowId == 6 || windowId == 25 || windowId == 28[COLOR="Red"] || windowId == 2003[/COLOR])
 

with that it works but it will better that you checked this and do implementation.

Hi,

first let me answer the questions and then explain what i figured out

1. It was happening on shares view, with no specific movie. I was just browsing the directory (even without any movies) and it would just turn to black after few UP/DOWN actions.
2. See 1

But I think i figured out the problem in the skin. In all common.fanart include XMLs there was black.png defined as first (bottom) image. So when FanartHandler failed providing fanart, black would be shown.

Here is a sample XML from Black Glass Nova SVN:
common.window.video.fanart.xml - blackglass - Project Hosting on Google Code

Can you confirm this might cause the problem?

Thanks!

In Black Glass the fanarts are placed beneath a semitransparent colored overlay and when the transitions take place, the merging effect between the fanart and the skin backdrop is strongly mitigated by the above colored overlay. Furthermore, in Black Glass there is a different transition mechanism that eases off this bad effect.

Thanks
