multiimage using fanart
#1
I must be going crazy. I have added a multiimage control to the homescreen and I want it to show a slideshow of random fanart from my library.

I have always succesfully used:

<imagepath>special://userdata/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart/</imagepath>

as a path.

But I can't get anything to show up.

All was working fine before, now after creating a new XBMC install this won't show any fanart.

Has this changed?

Hm, from the wiki:

Quote:As of XBMC v12:
The art URL's associated with library items are stored in the art table inside the video or music databases. These store the original URL to the art (e.g. from http://themoviedb.org, http://thetvdb.com, or http://theaudiodb.org). This means that central databases store where the art is obtained from, and multiple clients then just keep a local thumbnail cache as described below.

I guess that means what I want is not possible anymore? Sad

This is an option:

<thumb>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(RandomMovie.1.Art(fanart))]</thumb>

But then I'd have to choose between different content-types.

Any chance of multiimage controls using multiple paths?

you can also use a list container + an alarmclock with Control.Move().

In laymans terms please, when the timer runs out it.. moves the list focus? I don't understand.

You start a timer, for instance when a window is loaded:

<onload>AlarmClock(name_of_the_timer,Control.Move(50,1)),00:10,silent,loop)</onload>

This tells the container with ID 50 to move 1 position after 10 seconds without notification and after that start over

And the container with ID 50 has the image controls like:

<icon>$INFO[Window(Home).Property(RandomMovie.1.Art(fanart))]</icon>

and so on

At one point there was going to be some image:// directory VFS added for grabbing all art for a particular media type, but it didn't make it in (presumably as you can grab art via JSON-RPC now).

@vdrfan was the one that coded it up IIRC.
