Hi Guys, as far as i know, when i configure the mp music section to display visualisation when in now playing i get the nice milkdrop stuff. that works just great.

When i completely disable visualisation (uncheck the "Use visualisation in now playing" and also disable visualisation) i get the fanart, cover, link to mylyrics and so on...

Now the thing is i sometimes like visualisations and sometimes i want the fanart. do i really have to go into the configuration to change it every time? Or is there a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable visualisation? and how do i have to configure the music-section to get this to work?

btw right now im not using the music database. just browsing through the folders.

:D for any help and suggestions!

    That's you and me would love to see this enabled as a on\off for viz within gui, and a lot of other people I suspect as well ;)

    so lets wait for mp2 i guess :) Or maybe it is possible to use the internal player and now playing for vis and maybe one of the other music plugins for a fanart based style? I have to say i never tried any of the music plugins...

    if you set viz up but do not set to show on now playing you should get fanart and everything will work without viz

    then if you go fullscreen (x on keyboard or red button on remote) you will get full screen viz. Press again and you are back at fanart.

    Don't have milkrop installed but this should work
