Thanks Where is the viewstyle of LatestMedia defined? It will be the base for the new home screen.

Screen and style you find inside Media plugin: https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...s/Media/Skin/default/screens/LatestMedia.xaml

I added download links in the second post. You can use BlueVision by installing the plugin: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/new-skin-bluevision².129477/#post-1122583
Please consider, that many things are not implemented yet! The skin is in development and depends also on other within MP2 developed items.

Missing:

• Audio Album meta data
• Series / Saison meta data
• High quality audio and image "farart" views
• TV view
• Home screen
• maybe more

Hi,
the audio album view is also added now . But unfortunately not yet with the full album metadata .
For my audio files I can see the album covers, when the songs are also tagged with covers.

Would be good, if somebody can test it with his audio files.
Further progress depends on the MIA rework. @MrTechno any news about the audio part? I saw a new post in the MIA thread, so I guessed you were working on it lately

Hi.

For my audio files I can see the album covers, when the songs are also tagged with covers.

At the moment this is the only way to get some artwork seen in MP2 music part. I'm pretty sure I can add an option in MP2-Edit to add missing covers manually later. But this is not written now.

Hi ge2301,

for me the album cover isn't "zoomed in" like in ApolloOne, instead only half of the cover is visible (see screenshot). Additional the cover is only visible when a track is focused, as soon as the focus get lost the cover disappears.
Could you also implement a view for the album artist tag? I think this tag is very common used by the MP community.
Thanks for your great work!

Hi Aspik,

thanks for your feedback and testing the skin!

This is intented to fill the fanart area, which does not yet have a square format. Bit this will be changed soon!
Currently the problem is, that all views (audio, image, video) share the same code to display fanarts. This is good! But for Audio the format should be changed to sqare.
Another option would be to keep the format and to apply the square audio cover on a e.g. backgound, but this won't look good from my point of view.

Additional the cover is only visible when a track is focused, as soon as the focus get lost the cover disappears.

This is intended, same is also used for the audio part. In ApolloOne it's so far "unmodified" from the base skin. If a user wants to see all covers the view mode change be changed to grid or cover flow.

Could you also implement a view for the album artist tag? I think this tag is very common used by the MP community.

Sure, this can be done, but at first I would wait for the MIA overwork. Lot of changes depend on this and anything I implement now needs to modified later again.
Currently I'm traveling and can not use MP2. A filter with Album Artist is also not available yet then I guess?

Hi Lehmden,
this could be a helpful option. But the best solution would be, if the MIA overwork allows MP2 to download high resolution covers for Albums.
Perhaps there are even some fanarts for some albums and the cover is only a fallback. Not so sure, I'm not too much a music expert

If music files are tagged properly, i would recommend 1. to use coverart tagged in metataga, 2. folder.jpg, stored in music folder, 3. downloaded coverart.
