ATM Artist logo only shows up while playing their music in Music Viz and on Home screen. Will be putting them into some views, but right now am about half way through completely rewriting the skin, trying to cut down on resources.
For Concerts to show it has to be in the XBMC database as a MusicVideo, not completely sure right now but there was a couple of issues with the scraper. Make sure though that the source is listed as MusicVideo.

I didn't succeeded in adding an new 'TV' item to the Home menu an acess to my .strm links from it
Can you tell me the exact process for my .strm files ?
Thanks

hi There
Under Settings --> Skin Settings --> AddOn Shortcuts
Select Home Streaming Menu and browse to your .strm file

Give it a name and it will appear under Streaming on the Home Menu
Make sure you've enabled Streaming under Main Menu Options

I was searching for a new item in Home menu
I had not understood it was in "Streaming" item (even it's logical)
I will test it when return at home
Genre Icons - Mudislander - 2012-01-24 19:40
Busy re-doing the skin ATM. Now users will be able to create directory skin.convergence/media/MovieGenre to fill it with their own genre icons. If the skin can't find any it will fall back to the default internal genre icons.
This is where my problem lies, I personally prefer the icons included ATM but have been playing around with new ideas as the original icons are hardcoded into English. So looking for any comments.
I've found matching music icons for these, but not too fond of them

Trying to write on the labels could turn out to be a major pain

Ok then something is going wrong with the settings in the artist logo download section. Because the logo's of the recognised artists have been downloaded, but not visible in music viz or home screen. Where do I need to place the logo's (in which folder?).
Ok I'll try to add them as music video.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi, Just to make sure we're on the same page - Artist logos are for the music section and you need to install cdART Manager manually as the Artwork downloader included in Convergence deals with the Video Library.
The logo needs to be placed in the Artist folder and named logo.png eg:
Music
|---> ArtistOne
| logo.png
| artist.nfo
| CD One Folder
| CD Two Folder
|
|----> ArtistTwo
Then you need to make sure you have not hiden the logos in the skin settings under Music Viz...

Artist Slideshow seen in the above screenie shows off Artist background fanart in Music Viz while playing. This should auto install with the skin
Another Question - Mudislander - 2012-01-25 16:59
How keen is everyone on the reflections of things like the genre icons on the screen floor. Personally I quite like them as they are a finishing touch but half the time I don't notice them and they do cause the skin to have to do a job twice, firstly to find the icon and then to start the process all over again for the reflection. With the way I've now coded the genre icons the system first checks for user icons before going back to the default skin supplied ones and I'm supposed to be on a mission to cuts resources not double them up

Thanks. I forgot the name of cdartmanager but that's the addon I'm using.
The only problem is that I'm having a different folder structure.
Folder: Pop
cd: Phil Collins - But seriously
folder.jpg
cdart.png
cd: Jamiroquai
etc..
I think I have to re-order my library
