Music FanArt not showing when playng Playlists (1 Viewer)

[Alx]

Can someone figure this out pls?A year ago Originally installed MP v.1.2.3, plus FanArt plugin plus aMPed Skin v.3.4.0
All fanart images/pictures I had placed in folder “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Skin FanArt\Scraper\music” desplayed correctly and everything worked fine.
Then, out of abaout 20 playlists that I use, only one was showing fanart when played, even though same artists are in other playlists.
I decided to clean and do a fresh install, this time MP v.1.3.0
Again FanArt will not show/display when plaing any Playlist, however it is there and working fine if I play Albums individualy or when browsing my music. It only fails whn I start a Playlist.
I use XP, have done no changes to the system except regular updates. My Playlists are m3u.
Any suggestions pls

sorry kiwijunglist, I do not understand what this has to do with playlist mode not showing any images/pictures which are already in my database. I'm not looking to download new images but display existing ones!

Did you back up the database and pictures or just the pictures?

If only pictures I suggest
Remove them from thumbs folder
put them in c:\tempfanart\
load fanart handler and import them
check they got imported into thumbs folder

Thanks kiwijunglist, I did all that several times i.e. delete pictures and databese via fanart handler configuration and then import again from my backup (different location) to no avail. As mentioned they all show nicely when I browse or play albums. Nothing shows when I play a playlist
:-(

HELP PLS!!!
Is there anyone in this forum that can shed some light here and show me the right direction please?

Two things

1. might be the way the files are referenced in your playlist. You mentioned it was only some playlist that had problems, if you can provide sample of working playlist + not working playlist then we can see what is wrong.

2. it might be a problem with the skin, do you get fanart in music playlist when using other skins.
