Quote:So, in the future there will be support for Season fanart, as opposed to just per TV show currently?
I have mip setup for it, it doesn't output it yet, but that's easy to do. The prob is that there's no option (that i know of) in xbmc for season fanart yet. I remember seeing some notes in xbmc's source about season fanart, but can't find those now.

Right now the artist fanart is spotty at best with many incorrect images, can the fanart that is downloaded have the artist name displayed in MIP to make sure it's the right artist? Also the ability to have the artist image also resized and stored as a folder.jpg would be nice. I know I'm asking a lot and if it's not possible then so be it. Many thanks for all your hard work.

I would love to figure out artist.nfo and album.nfo in the format that the library exports to..
I tried a few different builds, but nothing seems to even attempt to load an xml formated .nfo for music.
The export worked for a single file, but would crash when I tried seperate files with thumbs and fanart.
I know there's the option for a url in a .nfo file, but I would really like to have the data there and not the url.
if anyone can get one working, or details of how it works, i'll add it in for sure.
for example, based off a single file export of the music db, I made the following for artist as a test:
(this didn't work)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<artist>

<biography>A superior, slightly underrated improviser, Jack Wilkins has proven on his infrequent recordings as a leader that he ranks near the top. Wilkins, who studied with John Mehegan early on, learned vibes, piano, and classical guitar, but has stuck to jazz guitar throughout his career. He gained a strong reputation during his long association with Buddy Rich. Since then, he has recorded as a sideman with Jack DeJohnette, Eddie Gomez, Phil Woods, Harvie Swartz, and the Brecker Brothers, among others. But it is his own recordings for Mainstream, Music Masters, CTI, and especially his pair of essential Chiaroscuro albums in 1977 (the single CD Merge reissued all of the music except one song) that allow one to hear what a talented player Jack Wilkins has always been.</biography>
