You would have to enter the same path in the viewtype settings as you entered in cdart manager to store your logos and fanart.

Hi -
Ok

In System - Viewtype options Set path to music library I have it set to X:\ Which is my Music mapped drive. This is also where I have my cdART Settings Path to music library X:\

When I go into my X:\ drive I have these folders in there ...


I open up 30 Seconds to Mars folder and I have this:


When I open up 30 Seconds to Mars This is War folder I have a cdart.jpg file and a folder.jpg etc ...

However when I play the album - ... No Fan Art in the backround ...



What am I missing ? and Thanks for your response and help on this ...

fanart.jpg should be fixed in latest Github version. So in a few days in passion-xbmc repo.
If you want more 'extrafanart' use the download fanart in cdart manager.
This will create an 'extrafanart' in the artist folder so this will be used as a slideshow. That should already work

Thanks MS ...



I tried getting extra fanart - all it did was download a new pic and over write the old fanart.jpg

I've got the same problem, CDArt Manager doesnt seem to be creating the Extrafanart sub-folders and just overwrites the fanart.jpg that was already there in the artists folder.

Thanks


RESOLVED:

In CDArt Manager, I was using Artist Fanarts -> Select Artist -> Album Artists and just choosing one artist to test with. This doesnt seem to create the extrafanart sub-folder.

However if I use Automatic Download -> Album Artists then it does create the extrafanart sub-folders and in each extrafanart folder it creates fanart files which are named liked this:
