This is the only thing I changed for now:
<texture fallback="smb://fileserver/Backdrops/Music/fanart.jpg">smb://fileserver/Backdrops/Music/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist].jpg</texture>
There is a fanart.jpg as well as an Artist.jpg file in the same folder. I chose not to use 1 subfolder per artist.

I don't even see the bar. All I see is the default Now Playing, nothing like your screenshots.
As far as the path goes, it looks like this:
smb://fileserver/Backdrops/Music/fanart.jpg (default)
smb://fileserver/Backdrops/Music/Jay-Z.jpg
smb://fileserver/Backdrops/Music/Jason Mraz.jpg
and so on...
But I guess the problem is that it seems the whole mod is not even being loaded... not sure why.

Is there something specific to do to "reload" the skin? I tried changing to another skin then back to Alaska but is that enough? Or are the files cached somehow?

I will update XBMC to the latest version, delete Alaska and copy the latest version and we'll see.

Hi reaven,
nice mod, the information bar looks now much cleaner. Good job! But i have a request. I have no fanart in my folders, but only the fanart that xbmc scrapes in his own fanart folders. Can you please use these fanarts for a random slideshow in your background instead of those in the album folder. I dont need exactly the artist in the back when his song is playing. Because now my back is black.
Thanx
Efty

Agreed, the only place I have music fanart is in /userdata/thumbnails/music/fanart
and since they are .tbn files and not jpeg and not named by artist this mod won't work for me.
Is there a way to accomplish just using scraped fanart?

I truly like this mod. Any change adding a spinning CD animation to the cover?
