I can get fanart for currently playing artist to show in main menu or as background when browsing my files but not the fanart of the folder I'm in. Is this a bug or has this functionality been removed?

Hi Kees667

Here is the problem and solution: The problem is with MQ3 2.0

Solution:
You need to have an older version(MQ3 1.2 4).

Look under (Windows, Mac) AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeonmq.3\720p

Delete the following two files in this directory - 1.) includes.xml
2.) MyMusicSongs.xml

(These two files is the problem that causes the fanart not to work in Music Filemode/Playlist.)

So after deleting these two files, open older version of MQ3 1.2.4 (or older) and copy these two same files in this version(MQ3 1.2.4) to the directory (Windows, Mac) AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeonmq.3\720p - (where old ones was deleted)

This will bring back the Fanart in Music Filemode/Playlist as before

Hi, your skin is great. Thanks a lot!

Now my questions/problems:
- I cannot change view mode in moves nor in tv shows. Even after disabling current mode in settings, current mode changed but still I couldn't change next mode.
- is there (was there) anybody interested in song rating visible during playback? Currently it's barely visible and hardly changeable during playback. This is the only feature from WMC I'd like to see in aeon skin.

Is it somehow possible to use a different information panel style for movie sets? I'd like it to be on 'fanart' for sets, so it shows the thumbnails of every movie in the set, but I'd like it to be on 'extra thumbnails' for individual movies.

Hi Marcos

Fixed: Fanart not showing in music playlist. (issue 180)

Problem still there, installed and replaced the two files needed but still no fanart under Music Filemode/Playlist

Is there a huge difference between the two files in 1.2.4 & 2.0.1?

Manuel, I have many tests in final version xbmc eden, and too in actual xbmc frodo (version 12 alpha 1), running music in files, I have fanart in playlist, using win 7, 32 bits, replace old files is not the better way, to solve this, please verify my steps,
in music, submenu files, I run artist Adele, Album 21, go to fullscreen, press M (menu), option playlist, and i have fanart Adele, in home, fullscreen and playslit too, using file mode.

What your Operational System, what version XBMC you run, here this problem don´t exist.

I love this skin from the beginning.
Each new release brings good points and his faster (on my XBMC).

I don't know where I have to put this on the forum, but the last think I found annoying is that on the video player, with subtitles, if you display infos, you can't show the subtitles

I've made small modifications of some files (in the "720p" directories) to have 80% transparency of info panels, control pannel (play/pause/... on top of the screen) and also volume popup.

The smartest things would be to have an option in the skin to activate or not transparency (like in the movie/series librairies) but so far I don't know how to do it.

The modified files (and the original ones ... if you want to compare them with WinMerge or another tool) for the release 2.0.1 of Aeon MQ 3 are in the 7-zip archive here :

I've also included 3 screen captures to illustrate the concept

Thanks again for the great great work !!!

Imo it would look better with a transparent background but normal flags and buttons.

PS: If older files(1.2.4) gets used, it works 100%

I use Windows 7,final version xbmc eden as well as
Mac Mini, Lion,final version xbmc eden

Both the same problem
