    In regards to the topic which describes how to add "Fanart" into MyVideos & MyMusic: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/skins-50/fanart-now-avalible-my-videos-my-music-41634/

    These are a combination of a bug report (excessive RAM use) and also suggestions/additions if possible

    1) how the image is loaded into memory, instead of them being retained in memory (getting 1-2 gigs worth of extra RAM being used) that they only be loaded/unloaded as they are used...

    2) That multiple file types ie both jpg & png can be used

    3) That multiple images can be used and are randomly selected. Ie. King Kong-1.jpg King Kong-2.png

    4) That both the title name and the imdb reference can be used as the file title. That way, you can either download them via packs on other sites or you can use your own source / moving pictures

    This feature has great potential...

    Moved this thread under improvement suggestions as Fan Art is not currently feature that MP supports, it is not possible to have a bug report on such feature that doesn't even exist..

    Fair enough.

    I will also add a couple of extras then..

    5) The ability like TVSeries & MovingPictures that fanart can automatically download

    6) That the fanart can be stored in a common directory so that it is shared by other skins & plugins..

    Using fanart in myVideos and MyMusic is more like a hack then a officialy supported feature.

    I do not have the "Excessive RAM use" issue with myTVSeries nor MovingPictures.

    You are right, it does appear to be more of a 'hack' and lets hope it gets some consideration to be implemented as a supported feature.

    Perhaps that is why the RAM is an issue, because of this.

    Thanks, Spaldo

    I have the same excessive RAM usage issue reported here. I have lots of backdrops for my StreamedMP home screen, movies, episodes. After a while of playing several videos, I am forced to restart MP to free up memory.

    Here's some proof related to the excessive memory usage. This is after browsing through about 102 movie backdrops in MovingPictures and playing and stopping several videos a few times.

    And here's another screenshot that shows the gradual growth of private bytes. It starts off around 830MB but gradually grows to 1.4GB, after which video files fail to play.

    Update: I've discovered that my memory leak issue was due to the MpcVideoDec DirectShow filter. More details in this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/moving-pictures-284/memory-leak-54637/

    I don't really see where this is fixed in your link you have posted ?

    Looks like there is still an issue with Media Portal, remember, that Fan Art isn't supported yet in Media Portal native.. It works fine in Moving Pictures. Not sure why you posted it over there for ?
