At some point my HTPC started showing generic "Various Artists" fanart rather than the fanart for the artist of the currently playing track on albums with an "Album Artist" of "Various Artists".

How do I get Fanart Handler to go back to the old behaviour of showing fanart for the track artist rather than the album artist? It still seems to download the track artist fanart but it doesn't display it.

I am running MediaPortal 1.13 with Default Wide and fanart handler 4.0.2.229.

    It must show all the fanart around. Those.:
    For Artist: Madonna and Album Artist: Various Artists - fan art will be selected: Madonna (...), ..., Madonna (...), Various Artists (...), ..., Various Artists (...) ...

    How do I get Fanart Handler to go back to the old behaviour
    The mechanism of its work has not changed. Just for the Various Artists was not fanart, those resources (last.fm etc ...) with which he used to take fanart. But on the fanart.tv site, these pictures are, and FH downloads them.

    I think to you can help: Disable fan arts for the Various Artists in the configurator.

    I already tried disabling the "Various Artists" fanart but it didn't solve the problem. It just shows the default fanart instead and ignores the artist.

    So he does not find the images for the artist.

    Try this version and give me debug log ...

    I do not understand ... where the actor disappears, and why not a fan art for U2.
