FanArt now avalible for My Videos and My Music ! (3 Viewers)

[rpm]

Hi everybody,

I'm having a problem with fanart in My Videos section.

I have configured it, the images in the right place, but for some movies, the image is not displayed and for other it's displayed.

I thought it was a problem related to the names of the movies, but sometimes it happens with a movie who has a very common name or without any special character.

Any ideas what could be happen?

Thanks in advance

some problem whit some images.
I must to override the images.
Now all work fine.
Clear cache foder, too.

hi

well, clearing the cache didn't solve the problem...

still showing some pictures and other don't...

It even comes with bugs (that is, for me at least). After scrolling thru my music a couple of times with the "solution" I cameup with the basichome backdrops sometimes are just black (using aeon wide as a skin here). Anybody else experiencing this?

@ Joz: The reason you see black textures is probably because every image you load like this is loaded into your RAM. MP does not clean this up untill its restarted. so after a while it gets full..

Hey RPM,

might be related to this issue I'm having?
You know, this really is a brutal hack in the MP framework, so don't expect everything to work right with these hacks

 

[rpm]

well, I have 1GB of RAM, so I don't think that it gets full...

 

[joz]

well I have 4Gb's of RAM, might reconsider?
It could well be that Mediaportal.exe is not granted over say a gig of RAM or so for security reasons (memory leaks and stuff)

Hi,
Works great for MyVideo and MyMusic.

Now my question is: Is this possible for myPrograms, too? I use Programs for Games only. I have a Folder /Skin/Media/Game/
I added this line to MyPrograms:
<control>
<description>fanart</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1000</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1360</width>
<height>768</height>
<colordiffuse>66ffffff</colordiffuse>
<texture>\FanArt\Game\#title.png</texture>
<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowClose</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
</control>

but somehow it does not work, any ideas?

Thanks!
Tobi

edit: The Problem is this line: <texture>\FanArt\Game\#title.png</texture>, there is no variable "title" in my Pgrograms.... if I replace the variable with a fix picture like <texture>\FanArt\Game\half life 2.png</texture> I see it as background. So any idea how Programs sorts the files?

Hi,
I have a basic question, Is it possible to use more fanarts per artist?
For example I have 4 Backdrops for 1 Artist and they should change just lika a slideshow?
