    Hello everyone,

    I am using the StreamedMP skin and I have the option to push images from Fanart Handler to the background. I would like to add different pictures from the internet to the selection that StreamedMP uses and I thought that if Fanart Handler could watch a folder and just push what I dropped into it I would have an easy solution. Is this possible?

    Is there a better way to do this? I know that there are a lot of sites that offer backgrounds (for example www.hdwallpapers.in) for your computer and I would like to see a scraper have access to these things maybe.

    I can d/l these if there isn't a scraper available. Also should I be using Latest Media Handler instead or in conjunction?

    Thanks for the help

    Yes, download wallpaper and put it to - Thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\music\

    Thanks ajs. Can you give me the full path as I am not sure where this path is? Here is a screen shot of where I though it was suppose to be based on what was in Fanart Handler but it does not show up in windows explorer. I have turned on show hidden files.



    Ooops. I was in program files not program data. Well at least I figured it out :)

    Thanks for the help
