suppose to .

but what can you see ? the album, artist info the fallback fanart ? what ?
the path seems to be right.

I will update XBMC to the latest version, delete Alaska and copy the latest version and we'll see.

Still no luck.
I updated to the last version of XMBC and Alaska, copied the files with the updated path, made sure Visualization was set to None, and all I see is still this:

Oh, you have to switch to music now playing screen, press tab while music is running.

I feel bad. A little. Smile

Thanks!

Hi reaven,

nice mod, the information bar looks now much cleaner. Good job! But i have a request. I have no fanart in my folders, but only the fanart that xbmc scrapes in his own fanart folders. Can you please use these fanarts for a random slideshow in your background instead of those in the album folder. I dont need exactly the artist in the back when his song is playing. Because now my back is black.

Thanx
Efty

Agreed, the only place I have music fanart is in /userdata/thumbnails/music/fanart

and since they are .tbn files and not jpeg and not named by artist this mod won't work for me.

Is there a way to accomplish just using scraped fanart?

As I told in a pm before I have never use the built in music scrape functions all my fanart I get it and put it manually and I dont know if something like "MusicPlayer.Fanart" exist if that exist I think xbmc could display the fanart from where is store in the thumbnail folder or if something like "Fanart.Image" would work. replace the texture path with one of those to see if works

Code:

<texture>Fanart.Image</texture>

or

Code:

<texture>MusicPlayer.Fanart</texture>

i dont know if this one exist.

if that doesnt work it would be impossible until those functions been add to xbmc because those fanart and all the thumbnails that reside there have an special naming convention it would be impossible to know the name.

I truly like this mod. Any change adding a spinning CD animation to the cover?
