Updated first post with Skinners guide.

NOTE
The old #fanarthandler. tags will also be supported for the first versions to make it easy for all skinners but are "depricated" and will be removed after some time.

Hi,

An alpha version is now released containing a version of FanartHandler without the latest media stuff and a separate plugin for the latest media handling. This release is an Alpha release and should only be used by skinners or people wanting to help testing the new plugin. Please do not use this on your production/live system.

best regards

Hello.
I've done some firsts tests. Works really great here with Backdrop V1.0.1. My startup issue reported earlier is gone completely. TVSeries got Hash within a second now instead of some minutes this lasts earlier... The overall startup performance of MePo raises also. I think it was a great idea to split FH... I will use this now on my regular setup to do a long time test. Will report more, if there is something to report..

For now, happy holiday cul8er and thanks for all the great stuff you give to us...

Hi cul8er,

I don't want to talk your efforts down, but what I ask myself (and already did when this latest media thing was part of FH) is: why have two plugins for one job. I mean, InfoService can also be used to get the latest series episodes and movies. I know that this plugin gives even more information, but why not extend an already existing plugin instead of creating a new one? Just my two cents...

Is it possible to add options for more latest media?

Latest Games (my emulators)
Latest Trailers (online videos)
Latest Music Videos
Latest Movie Realeases (showtimes)

Hi.
Cul8er is on vacation right now so he can't answer your request. It will be one week or two until you can get a reply...

I think I found a bug or something... when I got Latest Media Handler enabled and tick the button to show "Latest Music" in the configuration I get a blank screen when I wanna join the music screen in shares view. (See attached screenshot).
If I untick the button to show "Latest Music" everything looks as expected in the music view.

I attached also the mediahandler & fanarthandler logfiles but they show no errors.
What I get is an error.log. Unfortunately it's in german. Translated it says something like: It was attempted to divide by zero (0).

Only one question about that: Isn't that a thing that the skin have to do??
