... ok, so I gave it another try - and after recompiling grabber.dll and adding a missing file from movingpicturessources to cornerstoneMP and recompiling, I was successful .... at least doing a compile...
I changed the above mentioned line - did not test anything, but if you want, you can test and check, if that solves your issue.

Edit: Deleted outdated attachment...

Hi Guzzi, thanks for checking that out, and the clarification. I'm not sure what to do though! At the moment I have to remove all my Translated Titles to get the fanart to work correctly. Once I do that, I don't seem to have any further problems with fanart displaying.

The other option is to modify my database and use Translated Titles!

I guess I will wait and hope Zebons continues development and can fix the issue.

P.S. Just saw your last post with zip file. Testing now!

After first testing - Close! Very Close! The fanart display in Details view appears to be perfect (I will continue testing). However the fanart display in Main view is mucked up. It looks like it displays the fanart only for every other film in the list/facade. The weird thing is it can alternate. One minute I get fanart on all the odd numbered films in the list (i.e 1,3,5,7,9....), but not the even numbered films (i.e 2,4,6,8,10...). The next minute it switches and I get fanart on the even numbered films but not the odd numbered ones. I don't mean the numbers display or anything. I just mean they are the first, third, etc items in the list.

Changing layout, sort or anything doesn't make any difference. I cannot tell what makes it suddenly switch from the odd numbered films to the even numbered ones. But I can reproduce it. If I navigate in the facade, to a film that displays fanart, then press the Home key, it will reverse which films display fanart or not. I assume that is because it is then the 'next' film viewed?

Hope this makes some sense to you!

... unfortunately I have the same ... this must be caused my the imageswapper (quite abvious, because it is happening on every second item) - and is for sure a new bug in the latest svn code from sourceforge.
I tried to look at the changes, but I am very unfamiliar with that grabber stuff. Will have to go to work now, will have a look later if I can solve it...

Hi Dadeo,
I tried a fix for your fanartproblem in the mainscreen - but because I did this on my mod and then backported it, I couldn't test very much - but if it works, I could also backport the Asynchload for the coverimage - that gave a real boost in the listview ;-).

Hi Guzzi - yes that appears to work for me. I can't see any problems so far. All fanart displays in Main view and multiimage works in Details view.

Of course, fanart still does not swap on the Main View, but that is another issue

Many thanks!

Implementation via multiimage doestn't make sense performancewise - sometimes there are 20-30 fanarts for a single movie - if all have to be loaded into the multiimagecontrol before the GUI is responsive again, that would be horrible.

The only way imho to do it properly is the way MovingPictures and TVseries do it - via code that is using the Asynchload of CornerstoneMP and switching pictures in the background. If damien or fforde give me some hints, I could incorporate that for you - I had a quick view on their code and don't fully understand how it works ;-) ...

Yes, I actually meant the way TVSeries and MovPics do it. Personally I have never had trouble with multiimage, but I know a lot of users do and since all the movies and fanart would load in one window, it could degrade perormance a lot like you said! Especially if you have 1,017 fanart folders and over 4,000 fanart images like me! So multiimage only in Details view is definitely the right way to go. I hope Damien or fforde can help with the swap between 1st and 2nd fanart in Main view. That would be great!

... I probably need to create a timer and run a thread, that triggers the change to the imageswapper according the timersetting (e.g. 10 seconds).
If someone can give me a codesnippet or an example, I would try to incorporate it. (Sorry, I am no developer, so can't invent this by myself ;-))

Hi,

I am still using this plugin and I would like to understand the following:

- Does MesFilms automatically download the fanarts (in this case how to configure that?) or we must put them manually into the fanart/movies folder?

- Does MesFilms now has the option 'trailers"?

I am using BlackGlass 2.6 skin and I don't see this possibility.

for your help.

Also: in the left menu tab "last" and "first" are always in English. How to translate?
