Extra Fanart

Does anyone know how you put extra fanart in a skin? Do you have to use an extrernal program and create nfo files for all the movies with the extra fanart in them or can you just add extra fanart within XBMC.

You just place it in your movie or tv show folder as such. Or at least this is how i do i.

moviefolder - movie.avi
- movie.tbn (movie poster)
- fanart.jpg (fanart pic)
- extrathumbs - thumb1.jpg - thumb2.jpg



tvshowfolder - folder.jpg (tvshow poster)
- fanart.jpg (fanart pic)
- clearart.png
- logo.png
- extrathumbs - thumb1.jpg - thumb2.jpg
- season 1
- season 2

Too bad there wasnt an extra thumbs tab inside xbmc that you can grab images from. Sounds time consuming, thank you for the reply ill have to check this out. That is just an extra thumbs folder you created ?

You can use Ember media manager to grab the extra fanart and put it in the appropriate folders (at least I know you can with movies, not sure about shows).

1. Make a folder called "extrafanart" at root of Movie/TV folder
2. Put these code blocks at line 54 in myvideonav.xml

Quote:<control type="multiimage">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<imagepath background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path]/extrafanart</imagepath>
<timeperimage>7000</timeperimage>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<fadetime>1000</fadetime>
</control>
<control type="multiimage">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<imagepath background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Path]../extrafanart</imagepath>
<timeperimage>7000</timeperimage>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<fadetime>1000</fadetime>
<visible>Container.Content(episodes)</visible>
</control>

Will this work for the new Eden confluence skin?

Edit: realized it won't because line 54 is in the middle of something else, can someone tell me where this would go on the Eden version of the skin?

Best regards tuxen

I figured it out; the above needs to be pasted in after line 7 in MyVideoNav.xml.
Right after the line that reads:
So for everybody that wants extrafanart in the new (pre)Eden skin, here you go. You can set the timings yourself, it shouldn't be hard to find the numbers to alter in the above copy/paste bit.

Best regards tuxen

Thanks for the info tuxen and mcborzu, just what I was after.
