Hi All

I have recently purchased another Revo Box and have installed the latest Stable release of XBMCbuntu I have changed the skin to Aeon Nox as Aeon wasnt available.

Now on my old Media Centre I used the Music in Library Mode and Showcase for the view I had the CD Cover displayed and when you scrolled through the albums it displayed the Album Cover and also the Fanart behind it for that album in the background. All of this information is stored in the Folder where the album is located.

All that is displayed as you browse through is the standard speaker and the other picture.

Now im probably being a bit silly here and its a simple fix but I have been through the skin configurration and cannot find a way to make the fanart display.

So Is there a way to display the Fanart? Do I need to re-configure something? or Change the Skin?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction

Many Thanks

Mark

Here's a link to how I would like it to look

Me neither I think it was because I posted in the incorrect forum and one of the moderators didn't like it :-(

-11 for cross posting is really a bit harsh^^

Well never mind, I didn't lose sleep over it and I even solved an issue on here!

Anyhow can anyone help me out with this issue I have?

Cheers

x3electric was really cranky that day (his account is closed now though)
but yes I agree a bit harsh.

Yes ofcourse this is possible. You have to scrape the fanart first though. With movies this is done automatically, but for music you have to query for artist information first as the default setting is to not query additional information while adding your music to the library.

Nice work. You should add one to my reputation since I made 100 cdarts this month for fanart.tv. Big Grin

Cheers Guys, Found that if you dont have it in Library Mode and use Showcase 2 it just works!

Grrrrreeeeaaaat!

hallelujah - and good news on your rep!

SouthMark · 2013-01-19, 15:45

ahhh thought i had fixed it but clearly not, works perfectly on my windows machine but not on my Media Centre. How do you scrape Fanart first as a previous comment states

Sorry if this is a bit noddy?

Music Library, open the context menu('c') for the artist, "query info for all artists".
