Artist fanart for music?
#1
I'm probably overlooking something stupid, but I've been through everything that I think I can go through and I can't figure out what the issue is.

Artist fanart is working, for instance, on the main menu, when music is playing, the background is changed to a moving artist slideshow. If I push tab, the same correct artist slideshow runs in the background.

My problem is, as soon as I go back into "music" or into any of the subfolders, the background changes back to the default "speaker -> tapedeck" images.

Is there any way to make it so that the artist slideshow fanart or whatever it is...continues to show while browsing music? I've tried changing the background to "artist fanart" in the customizer, but it just shows me fanart for ALL the artists I have, not the one currently playing, which is what I'd like.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

you do not make any mistake, we just do not show nowplaying fanart when browsing the media.

Is there any way to change that by editing something?

No problem. I'm going to make a post in the modding thread and see what happens.
