Change dark background on Music Media Info view

<visible>Container.Content(seasons)</visible> and
<visible>!Container.Content(seasons)</visible>
did the trick. Now TV Seasons and TV Episodes can be changed independently. Thank you very much. That concludes Q1 and Q2.

This is pretty nit-picky and probably not worth your time, but... The "go up one level" (..) at the top of each list (seasons and episodes) uses the default background rather than fanart. If you know (without too much work) where to look, I will change that as well. I looked in vain.

You could try adding the following image just before the end of CommonVideoBackground

Code:

<control type="image">

     <posx>0</posx>

     <posy>0</posy>

     <width>1280</width>

     <height>720</height>

     <texture background="true">$INFO[Fanart.Image]</texture>

     <include>backgroundfade</include>

     <fadetime>FanartCrossfadeTime</fadetime>

     <include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>

     <visible>Container.Content(Seasons) | Container.Content(Episodes)</visible>

</control>

Actually you may want to tighten up the visibility as the example is pretty loose, you could try adding another visible statement under the suggested one

Code:

<visible>StringCompare(ListItem.label,..) + !IsEmpty(Fanart.Image)</visible>

Thanks again. It works after removing the extra f in </ffadetime>. Apparently, the transient display of the the default background is not easily avoidable. No problem.

Other loose ends:
- I use thumbnail view for the music library and did not change view number 509 as suggested.
- I do like to keep the fanart aspect ratio, hence do not stretch to fit the width of the screen. That would look pretty bad on 4:3 fanart.

Quick update:

Added the mirrored image of the thumbnails back at the bottom (ViewsVideoLibrary.xml lines 348-358, modified)
Removed the darkening behind the titles (ViewsVideoLibrary.xml lines 282-288).
Added a png of an entirely black background in the media folder.
