[MOD] Cirrus Extended v2

My main backdrop is randomly cycling through fanart for a few movies i have locally stored. I also have a giant zip file with thousands more that is used for an addon. Is there any way i can use the pictures from the zip without extracting?

What do you mean with request, it's not something the skin can handle.
And why it's bugging you to extract the files from a zip. You just have to do it one time and set the path to that folder.

Yes, I know. I was requesting that maybe this could be implemented in the future, possibly. Since cbr files were supported, it seemed doable, but I really have no idea.

I am using the zip for an addon, so I need to keep it zipped. I guess I could also extract the files and keep the zip separate, its alot of space to duplicate.

I was just wondering if it was possible. Thanks for the info.

Deleted them from sources, cleaned the library and moved on to the next 20. Every album at least had an image in mp3tag and XBMC when I finished. I added them to my server.
Scannned all of them into my main HTPC and there is images missing!!! Very annoying!!

Hahaha - don't ask me. You have 5000 songs. My library is 8500+ albums (70 000+ songs), many of them one file album (Flac + cue). So I have good organized tree structure. Style -> Artist -> (year - album name). I make scan to download info and images, but when I'm listening Audio - I use file mode to navigate.

Hi butcha, could you please tell us how to use movie as background on home screen? I don't manage to do it and would like to use my HD videohive loop movies.

and also for weather screen on home: in the past once I had CE2 showing weather fanarts instead of movie fanarts. Now I have movies fanarts everywhere, even if I have "animated movies fanarts everywhere" disabled. I must do something wrong. CE2 settings have become so rich (I am not complaining at all, that's cool) it's sometimes tricky to find the right way inside them

I'm not in a hurry for that, just enjoy your diserved week-end!

Maybe best to lock it for your editing/posting only.
