    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>

    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.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    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.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
