[QUOTE="jmarc, post: 565814, member: 81856"] Hi all, While playing with the brand new Fanart Handler plugin, I realised that the "Now Playing" window was showing the ugly low res version of the covert art, very annoying when there are such beautiful background pictures. FYI here's the link to the fantastic Fanart Handler: [url=https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/fanart-handler-plugin-v1-0-music-fanart-scraper-76535]Fanart Handler Plugin v1.0 (and music fanart scraper) - MediaPortal Forum[/url] The way I've resolved this problem is the following: 1) Delete all your music thumbs as follow (make backup beforehand): [IMG]http://jmarctest11.googlecode.com/files/Test0.JPG[/IMG] It will clear C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music 2) Prevent MyMusic from downloading covert art from the Internet: [IMG]http://jmarctest11.googlecode.com/files/Test1.JPG[/IMG] When this option is not selected, the folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Albums contains 500x500 STRETCHED versions of the 120x120 thumbs automatically downloaded from the Internet. That's why it looks ugly in "Now Playing" 3) Force MyMusic to use the cover art embedded in ID3-Tags: [IMG]http://jmarctest11.googlecode.com/files/Test2.JPG[/IMG] I have embedded high res cover art all all my music files with the EXCELLENT MPTagThat: [url=https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mptagthat-310]MPTagThat - MediaPortal Forum[/url] (love it) Here's the end result: [IMG]http://jmarctest11.googlecode.com/files/Anastacia.png[/IMG] Hope you'll find this useful ... Cheers, JMA [/QUOTE]
