Night Release Thread

WOW, just download 675 fanarts for my tv shows.
It's making night/xbmc alot better and pretty

1. it's kinda hard to spot but you can see the regular fanart for a sec while transition to the extrafanart.

2. fanart transition also messed up one moving focus from show with extrafanarts to show with only 1 fanart.

Excellent job!!!

Yea seems to perform well so far for me...

1. The best I could do. That was probably the best fadetime so it's not too much noticeable. Making it a setting would work but this way if people have 200 shows but only want extrafanart for their 30 popular shows can and leave the other 170 with one fanart.

2. I didn't notice that one as much as #1...but so far seems like a cool addition.

I have played around with workaround fanart like this as well awhile back. I don't like having toggles for it, so I had them both in place. I set it so the regular fanart would show only when the extrafanart was unavailable. I set it up much like you do with logos and the text that shows when it is empty using control.getlabel.

I still would notice a slight transition when the extrafanart was empty and a blank would come up for a quick second before loading the the regular fanart. I removed all animations and fades and it still did it. I ended up removing it because I just don't like the little glitches. It did the same with tv and putting fanart in the season folder.

Hmm, I've never heard of MIP. I'm gonna give it a try for my TV Shows since EMM is still working mostly on the Movie side of things at the moment.

What's the advantage of MIP for TV Shows over EMM?

Guys. I Think you missed my point. I Don't need any EMM or MIP. I Just love having extra logos/images/whatever on the screen at the same time. I Am a image/logo whore as to what is on the screen. And I must say, This "ExtraFanArt" folder is great. I Did not see at 1st why you would need or want that folder. But then I tried to put more than 1 image in there and lo and behold!! It shows you a cycle of images every 10 seconds or so. This is great. I love it. Keep up the work.

Wish I knew how to make skins. What programs do you use to get this done? Please don't say "notepad"

Nope, Notepad++

I Should have seen that coming I Have no clue about working with code at that level

Now here is a tricky one.

So we have this cool "ExtraFanArt" folder system. And I love it. Now can the same be done with say "ExtraLandscape" Folder? Now that would be cool if that was to cycle also. It's a long shot I know. But I just had to put it out there.

That should get your eyes flowing

i don't use any mediamanager i just stick to what xbmc gives me. my htpc don't even have write access to most of my files so i hope it always will put stuff in cache.

A stupid question:
To what location can I extract the Weather fanart pack?

1) Wherever you want. Just set the correct path in the settings.
2) Yup. extrafanart folder. (there may be some media manager that does it for you, but I don't know about them).
