I posted over in python development, but maybe this is a skin change.

xbmcplugin.setPluginFanart() this use to set a fanart image no matter what listitem was selected. it does not work anymore.

didn't there use to be a container.fanart infoimage. if so any chance of bringing it back?

i also searched the change thread stickie and saw no reference to container.fanart.

It used to be Fanart.Image for the container's fanart.

Thanks Hitcher, looks like its not supported anymore. Any team member think its worth bringing back? It was nice for plugins.

It still works fine. See FANART_IMAGE in GUIInfoManager.cpp

Most skins just don't bother with it, as often the listitem has unique fanart.

I see where it's in there for fanart_labels, but i can't get the following to work. it does work if i hard code the path to an image in <texture>, so i know i set the correct background image control and i do close and restart xbmc each change since it's in an include file.

PHP Code:

        <control type="image">
            <posx>0</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <width>1280</width>
            <height>720</height>
            <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
            <texture background="true">$INFO[fanart.image]</texture>
            <include>backgroundfade</include>
            <fadetime>FanartCrossfadeTime</fadetime>
            <include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>
            <visible>![Player.HasVideo + !Skin.HasSetting(ShowBackgroundVideo)]</visible>
        </control>

PHP Code:

void CPluginDirectory::SetProperty(int handle, const CStdString &strProperty, const CStdString &strValue)
{
  CSingleLock lock(m_handleLock);
  if (handle < 0 || handle >= (int)globalHandles.size())
  {
    CLog::Log(LOGERROR, "%s called with an invalid handle.", __FUNCTION__);
    return;
  }

  CPluginDirectory *dir = globalHandles[handle];
  if (strProperty == "fanart_image")
    dir->m_listItems->SetArt("fanart", strValue);
  else
    dir->m_listItems->SetProperty(strProperty, strValue);
} 


that's how fanart is being set on a container so i don't know why it's not working?
