Fanart fallback if Extrathumbs dont exist??? - igotdvds - 2010-05-17

I am trying to get the fanart to show if extrathumbs arent available.

I am using this.

Code:
                <control type="multiimage">
                    <posx>20</posx>
                    <posy>500</posy>
                    <width>250</width>
                    <height>130</height>
                    <aspectratio>stretch</aspectratio>
                    <fadetime>400</fadetime>
                    <timeperimage>3000</timeperimage>                    
                    <imagepath background="true" diffuse="Shade/thumbdiffuse.png" fallback="$INFO[ListItem.Property(fanart_image)]">$INFO[ListItem.Path,,extrathumbs]</imagepath>
                </control>

Someone can correct me but I think a multiimage can only default to a static image...

Fallback is not possible with Multiimage. Last loaded image will stay visible.

Any other suggestions besides adding a toggle that could solve my dilemma?

If it doesn't slow things down too much just show the fanart and then the extrathumbs over it.

I tried that, but it would show the fanart for a quick second when changing movies.

put a delay for fanart to appear.

Or remove any time limit you have for the extrathumbs (this is how the backdrops/latest added fanart works in Revisted).

So simply a fade animation? What would the condition be...OnNext?
