Hi,

Does anyone know how I can add fanart as the background on my homescreen?

ie: When I highlight the 'Movies' group, I'd like the homescreen background to be fanart for my movies. When I highlight the 'TV Shows' group, I'd like the homescreen background to be fanart for my tv shoes.

Thanks!

W.S.

You can edit your home.xml to show a specific folder with images by using an multi-image-control instead of the regular control for the backdrop...

should look like:

PHP Code:

        <control type="multiimage">
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>1280</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <imagepath background="true">Here you set the path to the folder you want</imagepath>
            <timeperimage>4000</timeperimage>
            <randomize>true</randomize>
            <fadetime>700</fadetime>
        </control> 


if your using eden, you might take artwork-downloader to seperate your backdrops and use

PHP Code:

special://userdata/addon_data/script.artworkorganizer/MovieFanart 


as path...

if you're on dharma, you need videofanartsplitter installed and run once..then use

PHP Code:

pecial://userdata/addon_data/script.video-fanart-splitter/Movies/

Is there a particular folder where all the fanart is stored? (I'm brand new to xbmc). Specifically, I'm looking for the folder location in OSX.

Thanks!!

Or you could go to Settings -> Skin -> Background customizer & change the multi image setting to a folder with fanart images in it.

doh...yeah, it's that easy, right...since I started skinning I always try to hack a xml-file in order to achieve my goal...
sometimes I should use the already implemented options...
thanks for pointing out mudislander

Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm using the Customizable Confluence MOD. Is that eden or dharma?
