    This is for BasicHome.xml:

    First you need a define:

    <define>#usePlayFanart:Yes</define>

    This tag must be written before the <controls> tag.

    Then you need these controls:

    <control>
    <description>DUMMY CONTROL FOR FANART 1 VISIBILITY CONDITION</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>91919295</id>
    <posX>0</posX>
    <posY>0</posY>
    <width>1</width>
    <visible>yes</visible>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>DUMMY CONTROL FOR FANART 2 VISIBILITY CONDITION</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>91919296</id>
    <posX>0</posX>
    <posY>0</posY>
    <width>1</width>
    <visible>yes</visible>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>DUMMY CONTROL FOR FANART AVAILABILITY CONDITION</description>
    <type>label</type>
    <id>91919294</id>
    <posX>0</posX>
    <posY>0</posY>
    <width>1</width>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>FANART IMAGE 1</description>
    <id>897688</id>
    <type>image</type>
    <posX>0</posX>
    <posY>0</posY>
    <width>1920</width>
    <height>1080</height>
    <colordiffuse>ffffffff</colordiffuse>
    <texture>#fanarthandler.music.backdrop1.play</texture>
    <visible>control.isvisible(91919295)+control.isvisible(91919294)</visible>
    <animation effect="fade" time="300">visible</animation>
    <animation effect="fade" time="300">hidden</animation>
    </control>
    <control>
    <description>FANART IMAGE 2</description>
    <id>897689</id>
    <type>image</type>
    <posX>0</posX>
    <posY>0</posY>

    </control>

    You enable NowPlaying Artist Fanart on BasicHome from the BasicHome editor in the BasicHome Design tab.

    1. Select Music from Items Selected
    2. Edit.
    3. Ensure Enable Fanart Handler for this item is enabled.
    4. Select Music from the dropdown Fanart Base Property.
    5. Ensure Enable Music Now Playing Fanart for this item is enabled.
    6. Ensure Scraper is selected for Fanart Source.
    7. Save
    8. Generate Menu.

    Now when you play music, and you have the artist fanart, it will rotate on BasicHome when Music is selected.

    My bad, I misunderstood your post then :) Yeah, these things can get complicated really quickly. I remember scrapping some of my skin-improvement-ideas because I couldn't get these cross-dependencies sorted out.

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.
