After upgrading to StreamedMP 2.1.2.3366, I don't see any music when using this theme the way I used to before upgrading. No Artists, no songs, nothing. When I don't select the the theme, I see it all.

Hi,

Thanks for great work Shangostar! Where I can find/put cdart pictures for spinning cd?

Thanks @jhoppa,

for spinning movie discs you can use @m3rcury great plugin which will scrape Movie disc art as well as movie & tv clearart and clearlogo and put them in the correct folder for this theme to display them.

For music cdart and artist logos unfortunately there currently is no scraper. you will need to manually get them from FanArt.tv and put them in

MediaPortal/thumbs/Music/ClearArt
and
MediaPortal/thumbs/Music/cdArt

For the artist logo you will need to name the images 'artistname.png' and for the cdart 'artist name-album name.png'

I have created an enhancement request for the pluging to include music artwork, it has been accepted but is currently low priority, you can vote for it HERE

Hi,

I don't get music cdart and music clearart working. Those arts doesn't work with fakecd program or newest dvdart program. I try to change names exactly like in my music folder.

This is a known problem which unfortunately I don't know how to fix.

What do you guys use to get your clearart/logos, album art etc., currently seems we have two options that are essentially doing the same thing.

Mepo tools and DVDart plugin.

dvdart has just been updated to add music artwork and is what i currently use, had a brief look at mepo tool and does have some extra stuff (youtube/fakecd) and probably some other stuff. they both download the artwork to different locations (more confusing the already messy thumbs folder) and of course there is already fanart handler, jamesons new music info handler which also now does artwork, and tvseries and movingpics that fetch their own artwork. (pity they dont all collaborate on one universal artwork plugin)

could be possible to have the theme display the artwork wether you use mepo or dvd art but if not i'll have to decide on one or the other.

Im sure both have advantages over the other so let me know what they are and which you'd prefer this theme to support.
