I can't seem to get the Fanarts to display in music folder unless I'm i Library mode. I like to keep the folder structure intact, that's why I don't want to use Library mode.
I have assigned a specific folder with Fanart in Settings > Skinsettings > Backgrounds > Music. All I get is a white Screen, but when I leave the Music folder I can see the Fanart for a fraction of a second. It seems like there is a blank (white) Fanart on top of the Fanart I have assigned.
When I search for Album info, I do NOT have the opportunity to retrieve Fanart. The button marked Get Fanart is Greyed Out. This is also true for Library Mode.
I'm using Build 23120 and my Folder structure is Music/Artist/Album/Track

What can I do, to get that White Sheet off my Fanart?

start by downgrading xbmc to r22528. everythig above is not stable and can result in (partial) white screens in several places.
the 'get fanart' button is only enabled when searching for artist info.

did you perhaps add the fanart after you scanned your music to the library?
if this is the case you'll have to delete the music database and rescan.

xbmc doesn't pick up fanart if you add it afterwards.

I scanned and rescanned my Music Library, but nothing to do, same problem, no fanart in Library mode.

Just a question,, wich "string" is related to the artist informations in "album.nfo" ?

im putting one of my nfo online , maybe im doing something wrong....

Edit: xbmc's wiki is my friend ^^, i must add "<biography>Artist/Band biography text</biography>" and i think it"ll be ok Wink

I can't seem to get music fanart either. Which scrapper is everyone using. Also when I click on artist information it just asks me type in the name, and when I do it just keeps prompting the same window.

for fanart it does not matter so much what scaper you're using as all of them will get fanart from the same site (htbackdrop.com)
check if the fanart setting is enabled in Settings > Music > Library > Scraper Settings (if you're using a recent svn version).

chances are of course, there's no fanart available for the artists you're scraping.
you can manually check htbackdrops.com if this is the case.
