Dear All
I have a question about pulling artwork into a skin.
For music there are basically 3 primary images, the artist thumb (folder.jpg), the artist fanart and the album cover. When I look on the wiki skinning manual at additional items there are only 2 options available when music is playing:
MusicPlayer.Cover, which pulls in the album cover; and
MusicPlayer.Property(Fanart_Image) which surprise, surprise pulls in the fanart.
Although there are other listitem options those don't seem to work in playlists or if you move focus away from the list. So. I'm struggling to work out how you would pull in the artist thumb to a page, for instance in designing a slideshow overlay, when playing music.
Thanks

BTW - I tried Player.Art(thumb) and that's pulling in the album cover.
