Apollo One (4 Viewers)

On the other hand I did not realize similar in Titanium skin. But in titanium skin the fanart is moving and the loading time might be longer than the short flickering time of another pic we see now, could be a reason why it's not visible there.

Thanks - exactly the same here and I had the exact same suspicion why it doesn't show in Titanium

Though it's only a minor issue and I have a longer list of minor issues who could have a look on this or possiblly the fanart handler? Is it @morpheus_xx (as usual )?

There is an ImageSource for Fanart: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...ApolloOne/screens/MediaItemFanArt.inc#L24-L28.

As long as the source is not available (via Fanart service), the MediaItem itself is used as fallback source. For the MI the thumbnail will be used, if possible. Once the fanart is loaded, it will be preferred.

We could simply remove the FallbackSource.

Hm, if the FanartService is not able to provide fanart, it makes of course sense to have the fallback. But if the FanartService does have fanart, but it need to be downloaded from MP2-Server first, I would not first display the thumb-fallback and then 0.2 seconds or so later take the image from the FanartService. So maybe we could change the condition under which the fallback kicks in...

For the MI the thumbnail will be used, if possible.

That's how I think it works in the Videos section. But in movies, I get different thumbs in the left small-thumb-area than in Videos. Is Movies using only images from the FanArt service?

Just been playing around with latest Weekly + TVE3, and need to give a lot of for the progress on Apollo One (and MP2 as well). Job well done! This is really starting to look good

I maybe was wrong: now all content (thumbs, posters,...) should be loaded via Fanart service. I removed loading of ThumbnailAspect by default.

Can you open fiddler or similar? You should be able to trace all requests of fanart loading. Maybe you see the cause this way.

Would it be possible to point the MP2 fanart service to the MP1 thumbs folder while testing?

Emph

No, this is not possible. MP2 doesn't know anything about the MP1 thumbs structure.

If someone wants to add support for it, he should implement a MP2-Server plugin (IFanartProvider) which takes over the MediaItem's ID, does a path lookup from MediaLibrary and then decide in which folder it needs to look for a MP1 thumb. And it should know the correct filename.

To be clear: I don't have MP1 installed anymore, so I won't code this. But I can give help to devs who like to contribute this.

@wizard123 and @ge2301 what do we need to continue on ApolloOne? I have the feeling we are in kind of deadlock currently
