cul8er, could you consider renaming the plugin to "Fanart Handler" from the "X-Factor Fanart Handler". As the plugin is able to provide fan art information to other skins as well it would bring more users and skinners when the name was not skin specific.

Hi tourettes,

This is a good suggestion and one that I have considered. My problem is that if I rename it all x-factor users have to delete the old dll file before installing next version fo the skin. Can this be done with the MPI installer?

Good question, I have to say that I'm not sure. I would assume that the installer allows uninstalling the previous plugin version. Maybe you could ask from Dukus if it is currently possible.

Hey Cul8er,

Just found a small issue regarding music fanart.
I have the artist "Air" and also "Fairport Convention" in my library. The problem is that air is matched to the fairport convention backdrop. I do have backdrops for both artists so I think the matching logic is missing a bit here. I think your matching logic already works quite good, this is just a small thin I noticed so far.

The problem is that air is matched to the fairport convention backdrop

same for pink and pink floyd...

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I'm currently working on the matching rules. Last thing on my list before a release of this plugin if you do not find anything else that needs to be fixed

cheers

Hi ysmp,

I will look at the cycle problem.

I have started looking at automating download of music fanart from htbackdrops (now that matching works good). No promises but things progress well

cheers
