    AW: Re: Music Now Playing - Full Color FanArt Mod

    Hi togehther,

    I did some additional testsw (without the mod). I am not sure about my problems with fanarts. Which behaviour can I expect? How was the solution designed an which features are supported by BG 2.2.0? In my instalation sometimes come fanarts in playing now view. I all aother vies I see no fanarts at all. Again I have the problem that I see fanart in now playing e.g. from Audioslave (which I selected before) when I just have selected Black Sabbath. In fanart handler plu I see that the plug has crapped the fanrts, so they there, but I don't get the displayed.

    Did I forgot to configure something?
    Do I need additional skin files?

    Thanks
    Juro

    Hi Juro!

    Are you using the default music view (share/folder view) or the database view (artists, albums...)? The plugin only works with the database view! You have to update your mp3 collection using an mp3 tag editor such as "Mp3tag" and fill up the "album", "artist" and "title" tags!

    Thanks

    Hi Tgx,

    All my mp3s where I did my test with are completely tagged. But I am not sure if we talk about the same thing so I will put some screens in here later.

    Thanks
    Juro!

    Hi togeht,

    I attached some screens now. Only view where I get Fanart is Playlist and now Playing. How do I get them in cover or list view?

    Regards
    Juro

    Hi Togehter,

    I put some screens in my last post and I test this on 3 Systems now

    Works the solution as designed or did I do something wrong.

    Regards Juro

    I do not well understand German, but it seems that you are using the music folder view. You have to use the artists or album view (database view). In Music you have to select from the left menu "Anordnung andern" and then "Interpreten" or "Alben". In these views the fanart handler plugin should work.

    But before you have to organize your music database. Here is the guide i used: How to: Optimize the music browsing in MP.

    I hope it helps!
