Guys
is it possible to use addon fanart (e.g. Youtube) anywhere else except in AddonBrowser?
How?

It works fine everywhere as ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image) but that of course only works when the addon item has focus itself. If you expect it to work inside the many nested folders of an addon then the addon dev needs to set ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image) for the list items itself

For program/addons
You just have to set an image control in myPrograms.xml
<texture background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Property(Fanart_Image)]</texture>
The "fanart.jpg" have to be inside the addon folder. The most addons owners are not using fanart.jpg in their addons, but you can just research a nice background rename it in fanart.jpg and put inside the addon folder.

Thanks.
Yup, as was aiming to nested folders mainly as it looks a bit odd to have youtube fanart in a list of video addons but it disappears when you're in folders.
