Game Fanart useability (1 Viewer)

[kaigame]

Hi there, i tried to search for this, but couldn't find out any information.

I'm new to Avalon and Avallonis, having used StreamedMP for ages(not a swear word around here i hope). Anyway, i've pretty much got everything the way i want it, but for some strange reason i can't use the games fanart handler option for anything.

I currently have it populated with my Anime backgrounds for use with the My Anime 3 plugin, although the plugin itself works fine, if i select games as the fanart from within the Editor, i get a blank background, same thing seems to be happening for scorecenter(don't use it, just tried to use the fanart handler as a test).

Any ideas?

As a workaround, it appears as though the only fanart options currently implemented are movies, series, pictures, music and TV. So i've copied the fanart folder into the tv fanart folder.

IT seems quite strange that there is an option to use the games fanart from the editor, even though there doesn't seem to be any actual implementation of it anywhere.

Hey, I got exactly the same problem. Would be very nice if you could fix this

Hey, I made a little workaround.

Add this Code into your BasicHome.FanartHandler.xml in Directory ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Avalon.
Worked for me.
