I couldn't find the way to display fanart on selected item in the music section....but in the Videos section works awesome...

let me know if you want this...

Hey RPM, this should do the trick:

<control>
<type>image</type>
<id>1000</id>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1366</width>
<height>768</height>
<texture>\Animations\music\#selecteditem.jpg</texture>
<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowClose</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
</control>

It's working for me. #selecteditem holds the selected artist so it should work the same. Even "now playing" is still working for me.

There you go

common.window.music.xml

I'm uploading some of my own fanart right now @ mediafire, this'll be the link:
http://www.mediafire.com/fanart
Especially the music bit I did myself. Games I collected as well as plugins.

Do you guys know if there's anyway to kinda combine all the images in one place? Like for example the fanart of MP-TVSeries is located somewhere in
C:\Documents and Settings (for xp that is)
but the tv backdrops themselves are stored in program files (default mp install dir). Can't these two directories somehow become one? Might save some diskspace

Hi, Does XFACE and this fanart work correctly and just like the original post in this section ???

I have found before that everytime i add new plug in to xfcace or any other new skin it always never works the way it was meant to..

Cheers.

This is no plugin, in fact this is a hack imo.

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?

Edit:

Just answered my own question:

This'll do the trick... 2 bad these things will get overridden when you're using the aeon editor so you'd have to place them in manually. This bit of xml (from watchmenu) shows the backdrops from MP-TVSeries
and as this might seem a little silly it does work Absolute paths for some reason are not accepted.

<control>
<description>TV Gemist TV Series TV BACKGROUND</description>
<id>1200</id>
<type>multiimage</type>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1366</width>
<height>768</height>
<imagepath>\..\..\..\..\..\..\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\Fan Art</imagepath>
<timeperimage>30000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>800</fadetime>
<loop>yes</loop>
<randomize>False</randomize>
<visible>Control.IsVisible(1000)|Control.IsVisible(1001)|Control.IsVisible(1003)</visible>
</control>

p.s.
Using XP here so Vista might have some other path.

Hey Joz

the hack works great ! thanks for that...

one question, as you already know, the image should have the same exact name as the selected item which sometimes is only the artist and sometimes is the artist+album name, right?

So, do you know any trick to get only the name of the artist selected instead of the entire artist+album label? this way I can get only 1 image per artist and not 1 per album.

Thanks in advance

PS: the fanart pack is awesome !

 

[joz]

Well no not exactly. I have the same deal as you are having atm. Some are artist, some are artist-album.
The ones that are only artist, are sitting in a folder that has the artist name. The ones that are artist-album are sitting in a folder that's called artist-album. So logically setting up your music share folder structure like this : "\artist\album" would do the trick but haven't tested it myself yet.

the fanart pack is awesome !

Thx a lot. Spend some time creating those
Btw what do you think of this idea?

Already working on it right now but dunno if all is gonna be well on different systems
