"cdArt" concept - current cdImage with artist fanart support in music visualizations

hey ronie can you send me your advancedsettings.xml to see what and where you add this.

you mean guisettings.xml ?

this is the relevant line:
<setting type="string" name="Transparency!.music_folder_path">/home/xbmc/Media/Music/</setting>

if you store your music on a network drive, it should be something like this:
<setting type="string" name="Transparency!.music_folder_path">smb://Servername/Media/Music/</setting>

Quote:It's a custom skin setting. it allows users to specify the path to their music folder.
To use it, you would have add it to the 'Advanced - Extended Aeon Options' Section.

lol, sorry I though you were talking about the advancedsettings.xml


do you have your media in a server or smb share ? if so have you experience any problems loading fanart or cdArt in the music library ?

Great mod! However, is the artist/band fanart supposed to fade? I am not getting any sort of fade on change.

Nevermind ^, I guess I am having the same problem I am having with my home backdrops. They only fade about 25% of the time.

If any one knows of a solution I would be very grateful!

if you have more than one fanart for the artist its suppose to fade

in which node ? <mymusic>, <musicfiles>, <musiclibrary>, <musicplayer>, ect...

ok.. in <skinsettings> !

ok I have the path ok.. but its not loading anything I put a label in the screen to see if the path is there and it is but no fanart loading is this have anything to with the fact that it's in a smb share and the control calling is a multiimage ?

Is there anyway this mod can be used with the Pictures section? For instance, when in a slideshow, pressing "I" on the keyboard looks pretty blah right now.

hard to tell, post your multiimage control and whatever you've added to guisettings.xml,
and i'll have a look.
