MyMusic Fanart & Monochrome (1 Viewer)

[Theydon Bois]

Anyone got this working? If you have, can you let me know the files I need to edit please? I tried adding the instructions as below, but just didnt get it to work..

Also, what is the exact path for the thumbs, and can you just repoint them to the normal thumbs folder (in programdata) rather than within the skin?

Taken from here

<control>
<description>fanart</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1000</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<colordiffuse>40ffffff</colordiffuse>
<texture>\FanArt\Music\#Play.Current.Artist.png</texture>
<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowClose</animation>
<animation effect="fade" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
</control>

Any news on this topic since I also would be interested to have this included in Monochrome..

I figured out how to use the blue3wide fanart in my music and my pictures. Here are the files just copy them into:
...\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Monochrome\

Delete your cache and voila!

It can be done, see the attached pic of the now playing screen. You need to add the following to the MyMusicPlayingNow.xml

    <control>
      <type>image</type>
      <description>background image</description>
      <id>0</id>
      <posX>0</posX>
      <posY>0</posY>
      <width>1366</width>
      <height>768</height>
      <texture>background.png</texture>
      <visible>!Control.HasThumb(1201)</visible>
    </control>
    <control>
      <description>fanart</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>1201</id>
      <posX>0</posX>
      <posY>0</posY>
      <width>1366</width>
      <height>768</height>
      <texture>..\..\Fan Art\Music\#Play.Current.Artist.jpg</texture>
      <colordiffuse>66ffffff</colordiffuse>
    </control>

And in Monochrome, add

<visible>!Control.HasThumb(1201)</visible>

to the menu_slide_background control so it's only visible when there is no fan art.

This all assumes your skin folder looks like this: MediaPortal\skin\Fan Art\Music\Artist Name.jpg
