Should be fading already, I think. Check the last few seconds of the trailer I posted yesterday and see if that's what you're talking about.

Hi, the fade is definitely apparent to me in the trailer, but for some reason not when viewing in XBMC. It appears as though it is instantaneous? I can definitely see fading when going from a movie with fanart to one with none associated, as it fades into and image located in the backdrop folder.
But ya, not sure what could be causing this? Maybe the fanart is loading too fast?

Might just be too demanding for your hardware. Or maybe something about how your system's set up. We'll see if anyone else chimes in with the same symptoms and work from there.

Great! Thanks. I also just noticed that sometimes you can see the backdrop image for a split second when cycling in between movies. So I am thinking when the fanart is loading instead of doing a fade there is nothing there, and hence you can see the regular backdrop image of the movies folder??
Not sure what the problem is, I am pretty sure my hardware is up to spec. Am curious if anyone else is having this problem.

Maybe it is caching.
When I ran it for the first time it was similar to that.

Try dropping the thumbnail cache size in advancedsettings.xml to something like 400 or below, then deleting your thumbnails and recaching them. Showcase performance varies a lot depending on that variable.

As stoli points out, it's due to an old build.
Aeon Stark requires a very new build. If you don't have one, then get one before making claims that things don't work.

Just did a complete uninstall and updated the build and it is still doing the same thing? Not trying to make a claim that things don't work either jmarshall. The first post I made was actually a feature request..

At the very least you've got to mention which version you updated to, right?
