StreamedMP Music files using Fanart Handler (1 Viewer)

[trevor]

Hi Trevor,

See screens below:

1 - With the original mymusicgenres.xml, mymusicplaylist.xml and mymusicsongs.xml files

[image removed]

2 - With the files that you provided:

[image removed]

MP log returns:

2010-01-24 10:24:45.203125 [Info.][MPMain]: GUIWIndow.LoadInclude: Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\StreamedMP\mymusic.hiddenmenu.xml'.

But even if I manually add this file it still doesn't work.

Last thing, looks like the EQ files are still the old sort, see file attached.

Thanks!

It is just in shares view or with all views?

I have just thought that this is built on the SVN version fo StreamedMP and there has been a major amout of work done since the last release. I will remove my current version and go back to the current release, test and see what is involved in getting a version out that works with the current release.

Thanks for the info should hopefully have something tomorrow.

Cheers

This is in shares view. Yes sorry I should have mentioned I'm using Streamed MP 0.8.448 with MP 1.0.2

Cheers!

Updated EQ, no reflection, with holes in it.

Enhancement Request / Suggestion

The current behaviour for now playing screen is, that if fanart is not available from the fanart handler plugin (eg. No artist image available or MP artist thumb is too low resolution), then a random multiimage is displayed from the music subdirectory.

I don't like to see a non matching artist image in the now playing window. I think there should be a define option if the user doesn't want non matching random fanart. I would rather have a default image displayed if no fanart is available rather than a random artist.

Bug Fix

Currently I sometimes see the same image in the album thumb and the fanart window. This is because the fanart plugin either uses MP Artist thumb directory for fanart, or it scrapes the same fanart image as the audioscrobber plugin. I think the album thumb should only show the album, it shouldn't cycle between the album and the MP artist thumb image. If you change the album image control to the following it will prevent cycling the album image, and prevent artist image appearing in the album cover window.

    <control>
      <type>image</type>
      <description>album art image</description>
[B]      <id>0</id>[/B]
      <posX>20</posX>
      <posY>45</posY>
      <width>370</width>
      <height>347</height>
[B]      <texture>#Play.Current.Thumb</texture>[/B]    
</control>

I have the same problem with mymusicgenres.xml
Windows XP Pro SP3 + MP 1.1 BETA + SVN (23491) + StreamedMP Beta 0.9.601 + SkinReleaseVersion-V1.1.zip
The only difference is my title bar says "MY MUSIC/" Instead of "MUSIC/SHARES"
Actually sometimes it says "MY MUSIC/" other times it says "MUSIC/SHARES", but the rest is always blank as in the screenshots
Arrows keys don't really work, but sometimes if there is a now palying overlay window i can highlight that.
No side menus work.

EDIT: I found the problem.

It relates to the current view.
If I have view = SHARES, then i get this error
If I change to B3W skin, then load a genre view eg. "ALBUM ARTISTS" then reload streamedmp skin, then it works.
Also when browsing music the side menu no longer works, so I am unable to access different views/jump to playlist etc...

Hi,

having exactly the same problem, XP SP3, MP1.1 SVN24553
The playing now screen and the playlist screen work, just the musik screen is empty, with list view, large and smalll thumbs....
Side menu works with keyboard, not with remote, but missing the "sort" item.

This was in but had a bug (only on some variants...) - updated archive on it's way.

I just installed v1.2, but I still only get the view as previously mentioned by kiwijunglist.

Hi,

Sorry there was not a correction included for the issues mentioned by kiwijunglist in 1.2, I hope to get a fix out for that later today.

Cheers

Ah I see, I thought they already were.
Thank you!
