[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1132695, member: 17886"] If I remember correctly (still on Easter vacation - no coding machine around ;) ), the source of fanart used is non-deterministic. We have so called fanart providers, which are kept in a list on the server. If a client asks for fanart, the server iterates through the list and returns the fanart it gets from the first provider that was successful. So depending on which provider was loaded first (which on a gives system 'may' always be the same) it can return fanart from various sources. I don't like anything that is non deterministic :D and we could certainly solve that with an extension of the FanartSeevice. But it would be a waste of time. As soon as the MIA rework is ready, there will only be one source for fanart (and, hence, only one fanart provider): our MediaLibrary. That will make it much easier to get deterministic (and potentially configurable) results... [/QUOTE]
