This ticket is closed but it describes what I still believe is a bug: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7902
I´m unable to get the fanart image of the currently playing artist with
Code:
MusicPlayer.Property(Fanart_Image)

when i add a track to the playlist via
Code:
xbmc.PlayList(0).add(trackPath)

Please let me know if you need more info to reproduce this.

i'm sure it has to do with the whole library / filemode thing.

artist fanart is only available in library mode, so it will only be shown when playing/queuing songs from inside your musiclibrary.

when using other commands like PlayMedia(path) or the one you're using,
the songs are (more or less) started in filemode.
(ie. xbmc doesn't look up any library info for the song in question)

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.

Hi, thanks for replying!

The fact that tracks are started in filemode sounds about right, and it makes sense that fanart metadata is not avaliable.
So, my next quest is to find a way to queue music in library mode via an addon. If it's even possible.
