    Re: My Music Videos - ADD FANART

    Hi

    I updated My Music Videos skin files

    I changed the position/size of the artist thumb so it doesn't overlap the overlay and I added fanart background. You will only get fanart if you have an fanart scraped artist in your MP database that has the exact same name as the artist in music videos. If the artist names differ slightly then you wont get the fanart.

    Attached is the skin file, and some screenshots of some backdrops for missing fanart, that i'm working on (not finished yet)

    Looks good kiwijunglist, from images looks like all I can see missing is the title extension image for the 'Artist/View' label.

    Not sure what you mean there. I don't take much credit, i didn't do the coding I just adjusted the thumbnail position and added the backgrounds. If you explain what you mean in more detail maybe i can fix that.

    See the Top Title area with 'Artist' label, illustrated in pic. Minor Issue.

    Could even put a count field in the Top right as well.

    Not sure what I am doing wrong but I can't get this working on now-playing screen.

    I have copied across the standard fan-art screen files and the music selection xml files to the skin folder. I have cleared the cache and when I browse music I get fan-art but when I go to now-playing it looks like the fan-art appears for about 1 second and than vanishes??

    Anything I have done wrong? Running latest SVN of MP and latest release of streamedMP. Using FanArtHandler 1.0 (did try 1.3 RC1 but that caused a whole load of issues)

    What version of the files from here 1.7? Just realised I should have left up the version that supports FH 1.0 - the 1.7 release is designed to work with FH 1.2 / 1.3RC - cul8er's plan was to release a new version this w/e but there have been a few issues so release may be delayed - looks like I jumped the gun with 1.7.

    What problems did you have with 1.3rc? I am running that with this set of files and no problems with fanart being displayed (scoll speed issues with movingpictures though)

    Cheers

    1.7 From here yes. Oddly is now working :confused: I played a file and after about a minute fan art appeared (even though the fanart was already showing in the earch screens) Now seems to be working.

    Issues with Fanart 1.3 RC1 were basically it crashing... Kept getting stuck whilst downloading fanart

    Never seen that at issue, did hear of some scraping problems.

    What have you set as the 'time to show each image' - if this was equal to the time before the image appeared pretty sureI know what the issue is.

    I thought I did see an issue about this on the google issues log but just gave up and went back to 1.0

    The time was left to the default 20 seconds but definately took about a minute (I did think that perhaps it would not get a first image and then would appear after 20 seconds but that was not the case)
