Problems with Fanart

Hello aj1405, hello Community!

I have a Problem to get my Fanart work! With PureVision i stored my FanArt in
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\PureVision\Media\FanArt Music\
and in
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\PureVision\Media\FanArt Video\

The Files have the same name like the media e.g. ABBA -> ABBA.jpg for Artist or Blood Diamond -> Blood Diamond.jpg for a movie! But it doesn't work in This Skin. I have tried several paths, but it doesn't work!

Where is my mistake, please help!

Best Regards
Helios

Try this folder:
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_selecteditem

For videos I recommend you to rename them to the IMDB number and placing them here:
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_imdb

Hello!

I put ABBA.jpg in the folder
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_selecteditem
then I play an Abba-Album - > Fanart doesn't work! I only see the animated Backdrops in the "Now Playing Screen"!!

For videos I recommend you to rename them to the IMDB number and placing them here:
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_imdb

I have a lot of Vodeos and Audio-DVDS there are not listed in IMDB, for which i have made my own fanart! Is there a solution?

Best regards
Helios

I see you problem; I'll rework the fanart for the next release

I think, this could be a good choice:

C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_selecteditem
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_imdb
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_video
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart_music

or

C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart\selecteditem
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart\imdb
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart\video
C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Black & White 1080\Media\fanart\music

What is your opinion?

Best Regards

0.6 is released
Have a look at the first post in this thread.

Please do not report bugs and change request in this thread. Create a new thread instead. It's easier for me/new users to keep track.

The 0.6 release was a little premature

Please download 0.6 R2:
- common.weather.xml: Added conditional visibility
- tvZAPOSD.xml: Added/Fixed
- Preview: Border was missing

The My Showtimes layout needs a "bit" of work (it's all over the place!)
When the weather is Hazy there is an overlap of the text (see attached)
When looking at the weather images (sattelite etc) how do you get back to the forcast screen?
The track position bar in the 'Now playing' screen is too high (see attached)
The filmstrip views should be a proper filmstrip, not like the current halfway house of a row if icons and one big icon

Having said all that I LIKE this skin!!

If possible, could you add a (time remaining) counter for video playback?

Thanks
