Fanart Handler Plugin v2.1.1 (and music fanart scraper) (2 Viewers)

[jimwin]

I played with a few of the Blue3wide skin files a while back to add fanart support, thanks to some initial work done by YSMP. As there is a new major release of MP (1.1.0) I decided to revisit this, and I've now added support for Fanart to the 1.10 version of the Blue3wide skin.

Credit to YSMP for his original work, this mod now supports:
Playing music fanart for Playlist, Now Playing and My Lyrics
Selected music fanart support for My Music general screens.
The link to "Now Playing" has been modified to change to "My Lyrics" if that plugin is installed.

I've included 2 versions of music_overlay.png. The default one is more transparent, but you can swap it for the other file if you prefer.

I think this is such a great plugin, it needs to be supported by the default skin.

Great plug!!

I added some backdrops for some bands to the site.
Weird thing is that the plug finds all but 1.

"Flotsam & Jetsam" isn't found. Although the Artist/Band name is exactly the same.

Any idea why?

Also it seems that if the "The" word is in a band's name it doesn't find it.
Example :

Artist Name from i-net tags : "Gathering"
On site it's called "The Gathering" for backdrops.

Is it possible to search for both ? e.g. "The Gathering" and "Gathering"

Thanks for spotting the issues ysMP.

I've now been able to spend a little more time on these, and I've updated them again. Menu controls now work correctly, and I've also played around with the transparent overlays to make them work better. I've also re-added support for the updated Now Playing screens, with and without the LED powermeters etc.

Hi ysMP, sorry I can't see what the issue is with the large icons? Can you give more information?
As for the "Playing Now", yes, I had to make big changes, as there are some big changes to the original B3W skin files to include the LED visualisations etc. I wanted to keep the CD sleeve picture, so I had to really mess about with the overlays.
