[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 500262, member: 27204"] Now I am getting really confused LOL! AFAIK you cannot use "%ArtistName%L.jpg" as code in an xml - MP will not recognize the variable, or were you just using that to indicate the variable? The actual code used in my version of theatre's MyMusicPlayingNow.xml is #Play.Current.ArtistL.jpg and the path specified is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Artists\ My artist images in Vista are in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Artists\%ArtistName%L.jpg I get all the images showing in aMPed, but not in Theatre? Go figure. Perhaps you have a more up to date version of theatre? I'd really like to figure out how your images are showing in Vista! Can you post the MyMusicPlayingNow.xml you are using, and maybe try this one to see if it also works for you? Anyway, we are slipping a bit off topic :) - I don't want to focus the discussion on theatre skin (which I love BTW) rather on the way(s) to reference images from the [userdata] thumbs folder as I think it can be a valuable addition to any skin. Maybe we should just ask Nanogod what he did - nah, too easy LOL! [/QUOTE]
