Not yet...they're working on it.
well no, I mainly use XBMC for TV Shows and Music, so not sure how it works for movies.
I seen screenshots of people having fanart for music, just not sure how.

Well, for Aeon, you just point the skin to a folder where you have all your music fanart stored together. When you're browsing music, it'll just display those images at random in the background. The screenshots you see where the fanart matches the album/artist shown is most likely a mock-up. AFAIK, xbmc does not yet support contextual fanart. That feature is slated for sometime in the not-so-distant future.
So, getting the backdrop to match the artist for music...doesn't work yet.

Message: added: ticket #4834 - Local Music Fanart. stick fanart.jpg in the artist folder. we assume some/path/artist/album/
P.S. I also just uploaded music fanart for Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish to htbackdrops.com. DH can add them to his pack or lists or whatever. Cheers.
P.P.S. I am a little worried about htbackdrops.com as the admin hasn't approved any fanart since Nov 10, 2008.

Yeah, I was getting the same feeling about HTbackdrops. This was right after I uploaded this entire pack over there for scraping purposes, then one of the devs told me that they weren't sure if they could use HTbackdrops as it doesn't have the proper API.
Either way, that's just one more thing for me to do now. Having XBMC is like having a kid...you're always trying to keep up with it and never even get close.

Sorry everybody .. I have been out of the loop due to illness ... back again.
Thanks to all who uploaded ... everything has been approved.
Again, sorry for the delay.

It's great that you health is better mate and thanks for approving those fanarts. DH even if it isn't possible to scrape from htbackdrops.com it's still a good place to keep them all together.

Hi there,
I can help to create an online database + api for the fanart.
I created for the Vista Media Center a little Plugin to listen to internet radio (http://www.mcetools.de). I fetch all kinds of information for the currently played artist.
I recently extend the functionality to be also available for the normal (offline) music library. I want to provide my users the fanart if they are listening to an artist.
So we can help eachother. I would like to hear from you If there is any interest.
Cheers
Sörnt
