Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v2.0 (and music fanart scraper)

Hello ...
Thanks for this plugin !!!

Is it possible to display/fill all Artist Pictures downloaded by the plugin when browsing musics by (album artist) ou (artist) in icons view ?

It tried a lot of things, but the only way i found is to play one time a song of the album

thanks for your answer, and sorry for my poor english

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v2.0 (and music fanart scraper)

mardup - yes that is already supported and working, but it is skin dependent issue. It depends how the skin author has setup the skin.

Thanks for the answer Kiwijunglist ...
Do you know a skin that support this ?
Blue3 Wide ?

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v2.0 (and music fanart scraper)

X-factor and StreamedMP for example.

The blue3's are not supported. Blue3, by itself, doesn't support too many (if at all, I think not at all actually) third party plugins.

From the first post in this thread.

Supported Skins

• aMPed (link)
• Black Glass (link)
• Black Glass Nova (link)
• BleazleWide (link)
• PureVisionHD (link)
• StreamedMP (link)
• X-Factor (link)

I recommend streamedmp skin as it is easy to install and setup.

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v2.0 (and music fanart scraper)

I tried with Streamed MP, and i have the same problem

So I think my previous post was not so clear ... :sorry:
I was not talking about backdrops, but about the images of the artists in the icons of the differents views ...

In album artist view, or artist view, into the icon I only see the images for artists I have yet listened... all the others icons don't have the image for the artist.
If i want this, i have to listen at least one track of the the album, and having checked (or not) to this parameter of Fanart Handler Plugin

Fanart Settings

Music Fanart Options

Select Music Fanart Sources - MP Artist Thumbs
Check this option if you want the artist thumbnail images that MediaPortal automatically downloads for an artist to be used when you select a music artist/album/track in MediaPortal. These images are often in low resolution (=bad quality) but setting the "Minimum Resolution For Images" option can solve this problem.

... i will have (or not) the image of the artist in the icon for the future.

So my question : is there a way to download/display images of all the artists of my music collection ... even if i have not listened one of them ? Does Fanart Handler Plugin download this kind of images, or only backdrops ?

Reading the Guide to the music section of mediaportal it seems that i have to use the Audioscrobber plugin to "... download images for all the artists ..."

Is this the solution for me ?

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v2.0 (and music fanart scraper)

Hi mardup,

Yes, fanart handler only manage backdrops. Artist thumbnails are handled by the Audioscrobber plugin. The guide you found is the correct way to get those images.

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v2.0 (and music fanart scraper)

Hi cul8er,

If I play content (from last.fm) of KoЯn it does not retrieve fanart, because it uses the artist name with the mirrored r. Is it possible to always replace this Я symbol for a normal R before you search?

thanks,
Pascal
