    Hi Andrew, have a problem with the holiday fanart ;)
    I use an overlay to cover the fanart:
    XML:
    <control>
            <description>Overlay Holiday Fanart</description>
            <id>1</id>
            <type>image</type>
            <posX>0</posX>
            <posY>0</posY>
            <width>1920</width>
            <height>1080</height>
            <colordiffuse>ffffffff</colordiffuse>
            <texture>Animations\BasicHome\3D-Leer.png</texture>
            <visible>skin.hassetting(#skin.holiday.fanart.basichome)+[[control.isvisible(91919285)+control.isvisible(91919284)]|[control.isvisible(91919286)+control.isvisible(91919284)]]</visible>
          </control>

    I have specified a time of 5 minutes and all day off:
    XML:
    <entry name="HolidayShow">5</entry>
    <entry name="HolidayShowAllDay">no</entry>

    What happens is that the holiday fanart disappears after 5 minutes, but the overlay stays with the visibility shown above breaking the correct display of the other BasicHome backgrounds.
    So: what visibility must I use to let the overlay disappear as well? Is there an extra property to indicate the holiday fanart is no longer shown?
    Thanks in advance ;)

    Main control for Holiday fanart - control.isvisible(91919284)
    Or maybe better check this properties for empty string:
    Code:
    #fanarthandler.holiday.backdrop1
    #fanarthandler.holiday.backdrop2

    Hi @ajs ,
    I'm just trying to customize Holiday-Fanart for my needs. What I did was:

    I entered/edited following entries in <FanartHandler.Holidays.Custom.xml>
    Code:
    ...
        <Holiday name="Happy Birthday Karl!" shortname="Birthday">
            <Month>11</Month>
            <Day>16</Day>
        </Holiday>
        <Holiday name="Happy Birthday Rossi!" shortname="Birthday">
            <Month>8</Month>
            <Day>22</Day>
        </Holiday>
        <Holiday name="Our Day!" shortname="Jahrestag">
            <Month>9</Month>
            <Day>29</Day>
    ...

    Happy Birthday Karl! and Happy Birthday Rossi! work as expected (tested it with "today"):)

    Holiday name="Our Day!" shortname="Jahrestag" doesn't work - no Text and no Fanart is shown. :(
    For "Jahrestag" I copied Pictures to <...Skin FanArt\UserDef\Holidays\Jahrestag\Jahrestag-1.jpg...>

    What am I doing wrong?

    general question: Is there a limit of how many pictures (Jahrestag-1.jpg, Jahrestag-2.jpg, Jahrestag-3.jpg....) that can be added to one folder?:unsure:

    Thanks in advance!

    Due to the recent update in FanartHandler and using dynamic paths for the ClearArt, ClearLogo and CDArt this is resolved without the need to update MovingPictures Cornerstone.MP.Extensions as FH no longer uses #selecteditem and instead uses #MovingPictures.SelectedMovie.title. At the moment MePo theme has these values but I plan to...

    If anyone ever experiences the above, I found a fix. Removing and reinstalling MP-TVSeries fixed it. It must have gotten corrupted during the reinstall of MP. I also had to do the same with TRAKT which had some issues too that were not apparent at the time. All is well once again. :cool:
