+1 - Thanks for the performance improvements, and also for no skin changes I already wonder how I lived without this plugin!

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v1.5 (and music fanart scraper)

First I want to say thank you for this great plugin! But I have one question: When a Fanart is downloaded for a single Track like "U2 - Vertigo" every other track with "U2" as interpreter gets this Fanart, that's like it should be. But when I go back to the root-folder "U2 - How To Dismantel An Atomic Bomb" there is no Fanart although there is "U2" in the Foldername. In an older Version the root-folder also gets the fanart of the artist.Have you changed something or am I just too stupid to make it work? I have the latest stable Version of FanartHandler(1.5). MP 1.1RC and the latest Xfactor Skin Version(R547).

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v1.5 (and music fanart scraper)

Hi,

using the FanartHandlerV1.5, after playing music for a while (it's random, might be during the first track, always within the first hour of music) the music will stop and MP will not respond - task manager is required to quit. This has happened a few times since installing a couple of days ago. I get a bunch of errors in the log -

.... and on and on, the log (attached) just keeps on going/growing until I quit. I deleted the FanartHandler database, reinstalled - keeps happening. I reverted back to V1.3 of the FanartHandler and it no longer happens.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for this report. Can you please attach the fanarthandler.log that matches the same time as when the error happens in the error.log.

best regards
cul8er

Logs attached. There are no errors in the fanarthandler.log hence my not adding it earlier. I've been trying more troubleshooting of the problem - music will 'hang' and MP stop responding only if I've played a video (DVD, .ts, .avi - doesn't matter) earlier; if I haven't played any video then the music seems to just keep playing no problems. Once again, this only happens if I'm using FanartHandler V1.5 - using V1.3 the music keeps playing regardless of whether I've been watching a video or not.

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v1.5 (and music fanart scraper)

cul8er,

Quick question regarding the Fanart Availability Control (91919294).

Should this only be visible when a stream is playing and fanart is found?

I am finding that this control stays visible after the stream has stopped, the net result for me is that on out basichome with now playing fanart enabled for that menu option stopping the music stream means we just get a black screen as the visibility tag expects control 91919294 to be hidden.

I may be misunderstanding here so thought I would ask prior to entering an issue.

Thanks

Re: Fanart Handler Plugin v1.5 (and music fanart scraper)

Hi,

Next version of this plugin now available (version 1.6). No new features but the new version includes optimization in how random images was handled. An example: loading a basichome screen on a very slow laptop of mine that took about 9 seconds with version 1.5 now are down to about 3. Usage of memory has also gone down due to this optimization.

Please let me know of any issues.

cheers

Can you provide a manual download of the 1.6 file as the forum download is still linked to v1.5 (ifile.it would probably work easy)......also as previously posted the Black Glass (and now also the Black Glass Nova) skins both support the plugin and can be added to the list of skins in first post.

*update* Nevermind the download link...found the new version at your fanart-handler - Project Hosting on Google Code site.
