    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>

    <posX>0</posX>

    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.

    Thanks for your reply. In my configuration this setting is set to "no". To avoid misunderstandings, the MP window size changes on screen resolution changes, MP always fulfills the whole screen. Also, the home screen buttons size is adjusted. Only the font size is not adjusted to the new screen resolution.

    So not 100% sure if this is a MyTVSeries or FanArt issue, but the episode thumbnails always revert to the series default after restart.

    I have looked at your log files, but as usual they are unintelligible gobbledegook. (I am sure that the original developers who wrote that code know what the log entries mean, but those developers have long since retired from the MP team.) I regret to say that I think that you will have to use the "brute force" method to track down...
