Better use of Movie Fanarts in Fanart View - Reelyator - 2022-10-09
Dears,
I really like the Fanart View (Netflix Style) but i would suggest that here (marked in red in the screenshot below) the fanart of the selected Movie should be displayed. Not a random fanart from the movie library.

Hi, must be a setting you have not set up, Films and TV Shows on my set up with Fanart View (Netflix Style) show all the fanart and extrafanart fine. Have you added entries into the advancedsettings.xml file as well for artwork ?
example from mine
<movieextraart>
<arttype>banner</arttype>
<arttype>clearart</arttype>
<arttype>clearlogo</arttype>
<arttype>discart</arttype>

@zorg2000k
You don't need that for v19 and later. (although it does still work)
The <arttype> was experimental for v18 only. It was replaced with these settings here... https://kodi.wiki/view/Settings/Media/Videos#Artwork

Thank you guys!
Up to now, i have used Amber in the original configuration, without any modifications to the advancedsettings.xml. I will check out, in how far the Artwork Level setting can be used, to get to my desired view.

....ok, understood!
When checking the Artwork Level Setting and the Artworks of the individual movies i see that the Artwork Level was already set to Maximu and the fanart of the Movie was scaped correctly.
Now i think it comes down to finding out, why Amber displays not the fanart of the selected Movie in this view but the Multiple Pictures Wallpaper defined for the Movies Menue.....

There is a switch under the Amber Settings/Backgrounds named "use Fanart in Sub-Menues" that must be changed from NO to YES to make Amber display the fanart of th e selected enty.
Still strange that a had to swith this on manually
.For a View Type that calls itself FANART i would have expected that this is ON by default.....
