Hi, I just updated to Eden with a fresh install. Things are running pretty much ok, but one thing I can't figure out is how the heck to persuade XBMC to download fanart for my music. The music is scanned into the library, CD covers are there, but no additional fanart is shown on Transparency...
Any hints for where to look would be highly appreciated.
Download Music Fanart

I can't speak for Dharma, as I never used it. But Artwork Downloader, an addon, gets all kinds of artwork for movies/tv, but not music. cdART Manager gets case covers, cd covers and tons of fanart for music. XBMC doesn't get artwork automatically without addons.

Yes it does. You should get fanart while scraping you music files.
Check out the universal scraper and scan for additional info Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forums before posting. Do NOT e-mail Team-XBMC members asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting, make sure you read this first For your mediacenter artwork go to ![[Image: fanarttv.png]](http://trakt.us/images/thanks/fanarttv.png) |

Hi guys,
I just added my first album to the Music library - actually i have to load it manually from the file list I can never remember how to add a source when it is an external drive so it is in the library... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intense I am not seeing any backdrops, what am i doing wrong? It did download the album info and pictures are displayed in the now playing, but no wallpapers (backdrops) for the Music folder. any ideas? |
