Fanart isn't showing for the main menu AT ALL for me; not sure why. Instead of fanart, I get the menu icon blown up to cover the entire background; needless to say, it looks pretty bad.

I checked the skin options and verified that the stage-style backgrounds were enabled for everything (they are), so I don't really know what's going on...

Try turning on recently added info.

Are you saying you have manually set each background and it still shows the icon?

hi,

found a problem with the recently added script i think:
if you start a recently added album out of the homescreen there are three things i don't like:
1.: if you rate the track the album cover disappears
2.: if there was a stoped playlist then it will play thie playlist after the first track of the recently added - but you cant skip back -
3.: it will not play the whole recently added album... only the first track of it

so thats what it looks like after starting the album out of recently added and then tab pressed

and this after you pressed up

another one:
if i press M during playback it brings the menu and if you're now going to the far righthand side icon and then go one time left, it jumps two times left

two questions left:
what is counted by "just watched" in the home screen movie statistics?
what is counted or which info is read out of the nfo by running time? cause as you can see [Image: screenshot005.png?psid=1]
thats not accurate

thanks for your really really goooood work

I went and looked under the weather screen, but I couldn't find a place to set the fanart path...

I'll try that when I get home, though I really didn't want a lot of information cluttering the screen -- just something in the background.

I haven't manually set the background to something other than the default image, no. Might I suggest that either the default background be the dfault image (even if recently added info isn't toggled) or else recently added info be made a default option to keep the main screen from looking like that the first time you start the skin?

I turned on the recently added info; that's a lot of clutter and the Home item is a bit redundant since the information is shown elsewhere. I get a black background for TV, but the wood floor for all of the others.

If I scroll through the movies quickly on Poster View 2, the skin can't render posters quickly enough to keep up, so I get a bunch of black boxes until I stop scrolling.

When you select weather and the info screen comes up. Press UP. Go to Misc. Settings and deselect "HIDE FANART". The set fanart path button will now be selectable.

The backgrounds work like this.

Recently added turned on = MY default images are used except for Music, TV, and Movies (Fanart is used)
Recently added turned off = Icons are used and you have to go into Skin Settings and manually set each background.

This is due to the amount of things working on the home screen and I was lucky to get all of these components working at all. Sorry I cant make this better maybe someone can offer assistance.

1. Mine does not behave this way. Are you on the "record" button?
2. Just watched is "supposedly" the last watched movie, it is a feature of the recently added script.
3. Running time is the running time or duration in the nfo file.

Thanks, I was hunting around in the Settings -> Weather category and didn7t see anything there, so I was a bit confused. The options can be spread out a bit!
