Thanks. I'll try that tonight.

I'd tried deleting the db3 I juts hadn't realised the .org was corrupted too.

Love the X-Factor skin btw

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v1.3 (and music fanart scraper)

Hi cul8er,
Using MP RC1 with StreamedMP I cannot get fanart, that I downloaded myself, working. I downloaded a few jpeg images (over 400x400), named them with the artist name with a number added, and put them in the thumbs>skin fanart>music folder, but they don't show up when browsing, nor in the now playing screen. I only see the fanart from the scraper.
Also I don't see them in the list under Music>Manage Fanart in the configuration.
From the artists that I tried, there was only one image from the scraper and I set the maximum number of images at 5.
I have Fanart Handler 1.3 installed btw.
What am I doing wrong ?
I attached 2 log files and the config log. (The artists I am talking about are Randy Newman and Ray LaMontagne. I didn't try more yet. I named the jpeg's ray lamontagne.jpg, ray lamontagne1.jpg etc.).

If I'm not mistaken, any manually added fanart (not scraped from HTBackdrops) will be added to the fanart handler db after you start MP, not if you go directly to config first. If you check config after running MP you will see the names added.

Also, I think it would be better if you put numbers separate from the artist name. Maybe, imitate the scraper by putting numbers in parentheses, it would still be easy to see manually added images because scraped images have 5 randomly selected numbers.

example:

ray lamontagne (01).jpg
ray lamontagne (02).jpg

Thanks 2BitSculptor.
Tried both but it doesn't help. Even after starting MP I don't see the added images. IIRC, I didn't have that problem with the latest svn, thus before RC1. Btw, I started with a complete new, clean, install of RC1.

edit..................

I tested... manually added fanart IS displayed in the now playing screen while playing the artist I added the fanart for, but did not show up in the image manager list when I went to it. I reset the scraper and started MP again, let it finish scraping in MP then returned to the manager. The added fanart still was not in the list.

make sure the fanart names are exactly the same as the artist names.

I'm still using MP 1.0.2, I haven't tested it on 1.1

Maybe the fanart handler needs to be adjusted for RC1?

Maybe the fanart handler needs to be adjusted for RC1?

I think so, because I don't see manually added fanart in the now playing screen, whatever I do. Strange thing is that when there are more scraped images for an artist they show up, rotating. But when I add images manually, I don't see them. I only see the scraped images.

I don't have this problem with 1.1 alpha + SVN from november. Manually added fanart does not show up in the file manager, until i run mediaportal and play the song, then switch to playing now window. Manually added fanart works fine for artists with zero scraped images.

Do not have this problem either afaik. I am on 1.1 rc1 aa well.
How you describe things it does not seem to be an MP issue but rather a skin or plugin one

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v1.3 (and music fanart scraper)

just thinking,

from your description, you said the images were larger that 400x400, but did not say if they were landscape, square or portrait. Do you have 'Display Only Wide Images (Aspect Ratio >= 1.3)' checked in config? The images will not display then if they are not wider than 4:3
