A suggestion :
in musicvisualisation.xml

within your control <description>artist slideshow</description>, add
<include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>
it creates a nice fade effects between artists fanarts !
so the control is :

Code:

<!--artist slideshow if fanart exist in define folder--> 

<control type="multiimage">

      <description>artist slideshow</description>

      <posx>0</posx>

      <posy>-</posy>

      <width>1280</width>

      <height>720</height>

      <imagepath>backdrops/artist_fanart/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]</imagepath>

      <timeperimage>4000</timeperimage>

      <fadetime>2000</fadetime>

      <pauseatend>4000</pauseatend>

      <randomize>true</randomize>

      <loop>yes</loop>

      <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

      <include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>

      <visible>!Visualisation.Enabled + Player.HasAudio</visible>

</control>

<!-- end artist slideshow -->

it is the include normaly used in the home page

nice one, my own xml dont have slideshow anymore I'm pulling the fanart from the remote music folder so I cant use <multiimage control> so I'm only able to use one single image.

I will be posting the xml soon for anyone that doesnt want to create a new folder for each artist that want support for. for the others that have the music folder locally just replace "path" in the

Code:

<imagepath> path </imagepath>

tag with the music path (just works if its local, NO SMB shares)

I like the idea of having a folder by artist
it takes some time to fill, but the result is terrible Smile
