FanArt now avalible for My Videos and My Music ! (2 Viewers)

[spuck]

yeah you can put them in a folder (with the artists name or whatever u use for file names on your fanart now) and use a multiimage control instead of a regular image control

sounds easy... but I just cant get it work. Been playing arround with it for hours now and nothing happens.
I use these lines (googel -> multi image control)
<control>
<description>slideshow control</description>
<type>multiimage</type>
<id>1000</id>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1360</width>
<height>768</height>
<visible>true</visible>
<imagepath>\FanArt\Music\#Play.Current.Artist\</imagepath>
<info></info>
<timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<pauseatend>10000</pauseatend>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<loop>yes</loop>
</control>

Now if I change the imagepath to: \FanArt\Music\#Play.Current.Artist\1.png it shows the picture but no slideshow. What attribute do I have to choose??

Thanks,
Tobias


Edit:

Now it basically works... There was a problem with the image file.

Thing is: colordiffuse only works with the first picture in the slide show?

Next thing is: How can I set a variable like #Play.CurrentArtist for the imagepath?
Now I have to set it like this <imagepath>Rihanna</imagepath>; Folder ist in ....skin/Indigo/Media/Animations/Rihanna.
But I need to make it variable so it always "fits" to the Artist..... any way to do this?

You may have to overlay an extra (blank) image as your diffuse, visible when you are displaying Fan Art, for a multi image background.

Thanks,
but I´m new to MP and xml files, it took me five hours just to get this muliimage thing working
So right no I have no Idea how to do this...
Maybe you can send me a pm or a link (found nothing with googel) on how to do this.
Thanks!

Hi all - I´m getting mad.
Tried to use this features in Aeon wide but I couldn´t get it working.read this whole thread over and over again and make changes in the xml and clear the cache.In SpinnSave everyting works fine.
Now I need a helping hand.If someone could upload the xmls for Aeon wide (music , videos and programms i search for) this would be great!!!

Now heres my myvideotitle.xml

Music Fanart

Hi @ all.

as i mentioned some pages before i got this working in Aeon for Videos after editing the myvideo.xml but now i wanna know where and what to change for the music section???

Thanks in advance

 

[PussyWagon]

Am i forced to download every fanart by myself? Or is there some automatic function for this like in Moving Pictures and MP-TV Series?
This is a huge project to do if i want to have fanarts to all my musics!

Pretty much, that is what you have to do.

I sometimes have to download a concert or promotional pic that I found with Google, then size/crop/fix it in photoshop to get the ones I want... not all artists pics are out there.

You can find a few here:

FanArt Fix for 1.0 Release

If anyone else is missing fanart after upgrading to 1.0 try updating the <texture> tag from the 1st post to

	<texture>.\FanArt\Music\#Play.Current.Artist.jpg</texture>

Note the ".\" before FanArt, I guess something with relative paths has changed in 1.0
