Fanart Handler music not working in Avallanche (2 Viewers)

[Douwedijkstr]

As the title already implies, I'm having problems showing fanart when playing music (using MePo 1.5 with Avallanche skin). I have installed the latest version of the Fanart Handler-plugin and it seems to work. However, when I start music in Mediaportal, it says in the left-top corner it wants to download art, but never gets to 100%. More interestingly, I already have downloaded all the fanart needed (when using Avalon before), so it simply has to show the fanart that I already copied to the correct folder.

Any ideas what might be going on here? Thanks in advance!

Same here until the last month.

Since I am now working on the computer on which MePo is actually installed, I am able to provide logs. I had a quick look myself at the 'fanart handler' log and it seems to have something to do with an XML-file called 'settings_movies.xml'. I did notice that this file (in the Avallanche-skin folder) has 0 kb, so seems to contain no information at all.

By the way, the same problem occurs when using the 'Latest Media Handler-plugin'. However, I'm not too bothered if this plugin doesn't work (but it would be appreciated to get it working, though

Hi,

I happened to come across this thread entrusted to it was not located in the correct subforum.
Avallanche (a skin based on Avalon)

The file appears to have become corrupted. Try the attached file.
It does't seem that you are using the latest version of Fanart Handler
LOG: 10-Dec-2013 22:09:47 Info [FanartHandler]: Fanart Handler version is 2.3.1.531
Try this one, FanartHandler 3.1:

I hope it solves the problem.

The reason I did not add my issue to the 'Avallanche' forum was that I did not know whether I would be in the correct thread to ask my question and I didn't want to end up on page 128 and do lots of reading not pertaining to my issue...

But, more importantly, your suggestion works! I updated fanart-handler as you suggested (Mediaportal Extension Installer has never given me a notice that Fanarthandler had to be updated, so I didn't do this beforehand) and replaced the 'settings_movies.xml' file. Only once did the plugin have to 'grab' fanart and from that point everything was read from the folder itself. Perfect (though I still wonder why LatestMediahandler doesn't work; I'll update that one too!
