Album FanArt Music (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I currently have quite alot of music albums which consist of Various Artists, currently there is only a folder for fanart_music_artist, would it be possible to create a folder for fanart_music_album this way you would be able to assign fanart to a particular album.

Cheers,

Lee

The skin uses to following music backgrounds:

#1 Random backdrop from ”backdrops_music”
#2 Selected artist/album from ”fanart_music_artist”
#3 Playing artist from ”fanart_music_artist”

Number 2 should pick up your album fanart from ”fanart_music_artist” as long as you don’t play any music.

I’ll change ”backdrops/fanart” thread and folder names in the next release so it will be clearer where to place your backdrops and fanart.

When I look at it now it would to better to swap #2 and #3.

I understand how your fanart works and i agree it would to better to swap #2 and #3.

You said in the fanart thread that "fanart_music_artist\ = My Music (Name the files with the artist name)"

So when i play an album such as U2 the file named U2.jpg will displayed in the background when the music is playing.

But when i play an album such as Ministry of Sound with different artists for each track it would be nice if you could use 1 image for the whole album when playing the tracks. I know i could always rename all the artists in the album to VA and have a VA.jpg but i would like to keep the artists name as they are.

Cheers,
Lee
