get fanart for album grey out...

liquidskin76 · 2012-04-04 23:15

Hey guys,

In most skins (Confluence, Fusion... and Welo!) the 'get fanart' button is grey out and can't be selected. However in Aeon MQ3 it can. All skins have been checked on the same installation of eden.

I've got to be missing something, however can't see what! Probably obvious! Just in case you want to know, i'd like it enabled!

Cheers Wink

You need to be in Artists not Albums.

Does it actually work when you click on it?

mq3 doesn't display the actual 'get fanart' button.
it's coded as a list item that sends a click to the hidden 'get fanart' button.

Yeah, i see. It's using 'SendClick(2003,12)'.

Thanks guys.

[edit:] difference being when you get fanart by using the above in album view, it doesn't retrieve info. You have to do it in artist view first. Then when you do it in album view again, you get the full results. Cheers

[edit]: even more bizarrely, the method above is only returning fanart for the most recent artist view scrape, no mater what album you are on!
