Extrafanart on 'Now Playing'?
#1
Hi guys

I recently reinstalled XBMC and Aeon Nox, and now when I listen to music, it no longer downloads extrafanart and displays as visualization in the background. It only sticks with the (already downloaded) single fanart jpeg. I have it set to the 'Artist fanart (Extrafanart, fanart.jpg, default fanart)' visualization and not the 'Artist Slideshow' one.

This is the excerpt from my debug log:

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I had it setup somehow (before I reinstalled XBMC) to automatically download fanart (that available from HTbackdrops.com) and display, without choosing 'Artist slideshow' (one of the reasons why I prefer this visual is that Artist slideshow usually takes a while before it find pictures from the next artist).

As I recall, it downloaded the available fanart from htbackdrops, to a folder unknown to me, as soon as I played some music.

Does the fanart HAVE to be stored locally (next to your music files) in order for the 'Artist fanart (Extrafanart, fanart.jpg, default fanart)' visualization to display it properly - or can it be set to auto download the available fanart and display, seemlessly, without me knowing and without saving jpegs next to my mp3's? Smile

Thanks in advance. Smile
