Black background fanart after fresh install
#1
I did a fresh openelec install on my cubox i pro.

Then i copied my advancedsettings.xml in userdata folder and reboot.

in skin settings is set for music movies and tvshows fanart as background.

and when i get back to my homescreen all the background stays black.

sometimes i see a fanart is showing but mostly they all black.

in kodi.log i get this error a lot:

What is the right way to do it right.

First scrape music library and video library without advancedsettings.xml and when finished copy advancedsettings.xml to userdata folder?

Or first copy advancedsettings.xml to userdata folder and the add thte video and music sources?

Thanks!

Hi,

For info I faced exactly the same problem after a fresh re-install of my media players.

I found that the cause is the lack of auto-download of fanarts by the skin. I mean the url to the fanarts is stored in the mysql database, and each media player downloads and cache those pictures when they need (ie. browsing your medias), but AEON seems not to force the download of the file when the background changes, and will simply not find the cached version if you didn't download it yet.

I fixed this problem by using this "Texture cache maintenance utility" which forced my Kodi to download and cache all the fanarts.

Hopefully it will help some other users too.

Regards,
Laurent

That is exactly the problem I'm facing right now, but on Eminence and Arctic:Zephyr (not tested Aeon). I will run the texture cache utility to solve it, but this issue is somewhat "new", fanart on the home screen was downloading fine by the skin until some day stopped working. After several hours investigating scripts and skin XML's, I've still not found the source of the problem.

Thanks!!

I found that when you scan a large library in, kodi is still caching artwork for sometime after the scrape has finished (few minutes) if this is interrupted (eg by rebooting kodi right after a scrape) then you get the black artwork problem Smile

The fix for me was to give kodi time to cache after a scrape Smile

I use all local Info and Art.

Hope this helps!

I am having the same issue, but am on an Android box, Neo U1. My backgrounds load the first time I go into my tv or movie collection, after a fresh install, but then go black when you reenter either one. The real kicker, is they show up fine once I go into the seasons view for any tv show. I've done multiple reinstalls, tried different skins, none of it has worked. So am now I'm llooking for some help. I'm currently using the Aeon Nox 5: Silvo.

How do you use the utility? I see its python script. I'm on Raspi 2.

Thanks,
