customsettings
musicvisulisation
include_musicoverlay
includes_musicoverlay
I managed to change the size of the cd in the visualizer screen, but can't figure out how to alter the main menu/music menu one.
The cdart is showing round only in the visualisation screen, but in other views the cdart doesn't appear round.
Also I have set the path to my music library in the metropolis settings - music settings. But only logos stored as following are shown in the music visualizer: Artist folder containing both Album folder & Logo.png
I have the following Music Library structure:
Album folder & Artist Folder(containing artist logo png) are stored separatelyin the music library folder, and therefore those logos are not coming up on the visualization screen.

That's a rather abnormal setup. This skin only supports:
Artist\logo.png
Artist\Album\cdart.png

It's hard to see in screen shots, but it looks like an egg rotating. here's 2 screen shots I took.

Looks like you're using a 16:10 aspect ratio, maybe that's why?

Yeah I'm @ 16:10, but cdart looks perfect in visualizer mode, it's only lop sided on the main & music menus. So I'm wondering what I need to edit in the XML to fix this. I figured it would be simple but I can't even find which XML to edit. I looked for every reference to cdart in all the XML's, I was able to change the visualizer one, but the only other 2 files I found containing cdart code when I change the image dimensions and reload XBMC it still looks exactly the same. So I'm obviously not editing the correct code.
*EDIT* well damn, I set my resolution to 16:9 and it looks perfect on all 3 screens now. I guess since movies are 16:9 and the skin looks the same there's no reason to not run XBMC @ 16:9, thanks for giving me the idea. To anyone else having this problem, go into settings, system and change the resolution 1 notch down to 1920x1080.

All I can truly say, is that I just fucking love this skin! Has put a lot of joy back into using XBMC

Shaggyfort1e Wrote:Might have found another bug that I don't think has been mentioned.
Whenever I stream music to XBMC through airplay, the bottom menu bar does not go away during the full screen visualizer.
This is fixed along with some tweaks to the viz:
Also added a slim version of the seekbar/pause screen for videos. This can be enabled in settings
@Amra - if you are still lurking, where did you get the icons for Movie Genres? I'd like to get the same style for music.

Just wanted to say thank you for this skin, I especially love the icon home setting.

Regards,
If you want, PM me a list (or are you just going with the 30 generic music genres I included in my last upload?) of what you want and I'll see what I can come up with this week.
- stoli - 2012-02-05
@Amra - Just the generic ones would be a great start.
Thanks!

Btw, looking thru the standard square music genre icons that I was using as placeholders, I have a question for the more musically diverse XBMC users out there: There are icons for both "Alternative Rock" & "Alternative". I am probably musically naive but I think of both as the same. Are two new genre images needed or are they the same thing?
And ditto for "Rock n Roll" & "Rock". In my mind those have always been the same. "Rock" just being short for "Rock n Roll".
