    + Add RadioTime selected Artist (from #RadioTime.Selected.Subtext) support.
    At my place did not work, or the skin is wrong, or that I did something wrong. Does anyone have works? When you select a station?[DOUBLEPOST=1418762154][/DOUBLEPOST]
    That's the only "theme" entry. Actually, putting any USer Fanart in the theme subfolder will lead to multiple storing. User Fanart is Independent of the Skin/theme and therefore should be stored in some central Location.
    The plugin reads the file skins, and theme files which windows which modes support. For Example:
    XML:
    <define>#useRandomMusicUserFanart:Yes</define>
    <define>#useSelectedFanart:Yes</define>
    Only that, nothing more. Image files are not kept in skins folders. And do not depend on the skins.

    I don't disagree, but that's not what happened: there is no path reference to any path "User Fanart" in the skin settings. Instead your FH alpha was looking in this path, could not fin it and terminated with error. I don't understand where you would pull this reference from. As mentioned I have created this (empty) path manually, hence I can't tell if the latest versions still have this problem.

    When playing always worked, but when a station is selected in the list, if it is, in the description of the current song and artist name there, and for this artist has fanart.

    Remove the directory and try the latest version, if there is an error then let me log file with debugging information.

    TBH I don´t like showing random music fanart in Radiotime where the artists have nothing to do with the played song ;) It´s a bit confusing imho ;)
    Should have a config setting for that ;)

    So plug always worked, if there fanart for the artist, then show it. If not, and enabled genres that are looking for fanart for the genre. If we find that show. If not, the show is one of the user fanart (thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\music\). Enabling and disabling display user fanart, available in the configuration file.
    XML:
        <entry name="UseDefaultBackdrop">yes</entry>
    For some reason (so decided to @cul8er), this option is not saved in the 3rd version of the plug-in, and will be available to build 114.

    PS: But it is better to ask @jameson_uk that he remade MIH, and the plugin does not save new fanart in the user directory (thumbs\Skin FanArt\UserDef\music\), and save them in a scraper directory (thumbs\Skin FanArt\Scraper\music\).

    FanartHandler.4.0.0.114 (Beta)
    * Fix upgrade settings procedure
    + Save option - UseDefaultBackdrop
