    Hi,

    Beta 4.0 now available. Please not that this now is a MPI installation. This version has SQLLite support so a new FanartHandler.db3 will be put in the database directory. This is the first version with SQLLite support and I have done little tests so expect bugs;) if you decide to try it.

    best regards

    Hi ysmp,

    No, it is the first step towards automatic fanart download. But this task is BIG so it will take some time;) Having said this, i have basic support for downloading music fanart included in this version but for now it is disabled.

    cheers

    Hi cul8er

    I have not followed every post in this thread, so apologies if it was already discussed.

    Seems like custom paths in mediaportaldirs.xml are not used by this plugin.
    When creating and populating the "Skins fanart\music" folder in the custom thumbs folder, it does not work.
    If I move it to regular folder, it works.

    Just wanted to get confirmation that it is not a UBF (User Brain Failure) on my part before creating issue on google.

    Hi rekenaar,

    I have never used this feature. What is mediaportaldirs.xml and how do I use it?

    best regards

    Hi cul8er - I've been testing Beta 4.0 and everything is working in music, but not anywhere else. It is not working in MyVideos for me any more nor in Music Videos

    Also, at present, MP takes about 15-20 sec to load the plugin when MP starts up (when I disable it it goes back to normal)

    EDIT: Random images work fine.

    Hi,

    I have now uploaded Beta5. This should solve the problems with myVideo (Dadeo). It also has basic support for music artist fanart scraping from htbackdrops.com. This is still VERY early work (the scraper part) so if you use it please do so on small music collections. If you have large music collections in your MP Music database do not use it until I release a stable version. I have only tested on my laptop where I have 20 artists.Will test at home on the real thing (music collaction of a few hundred artists) and see how it goes;)

    SO ONLY USE THIS VERSION ON A TEST SETUP OF MP.

    cheers

    Hi cul8er!

    One question: you are not going to release a new version of the skin until this plugin is finished, are you? :(

    Downloading the xml files from the XFactor google code will be enough to use the new improvements (music fanart, medianfo, biography, moving pictures 1.0,...) you have done to the skin?

    Thanks for all your work and effort and please, release the new version of the skin as soon as possible ;) It's going to be fantastic!

    Regards,

    Aitor
