Hi folks
Just wondering if it is possible to get around the fact the fanart for albums only shows artists. I have a large soundtrack collection and would like to show movie fanart rather than the artist.
I don't mind adding artwork manually to each album, but I tried and read various things and cant seem to figure out if its possible.
Cheers

Are you wanting movie fanart in your background while browsing for music to play or are you wanting the fanart to play like a screensaver when listening to music?

I was really just thinking of background images while browsing the albums, like what happens in the tv or movie.
I can get artists fan art to work, but for a lot of albums (like soundtracks or some classical albums) this isn't really appropriate.
But the fan art screensaver sounds cool too...

I've just tried Aeon Shednox Helix and it does it great. Just add fanart.jpg into the album folder and it show up in the background of the albums when browsing.
Only wish the default confluence skin did this, Aeon is a bit OTT for my simple brain.
Must be easy to script if I only new how!!!!!!
Cheers for the advice
