Works for me. This is how I've got the background fanart being displayed in my/ronies alteration of this mod (in musicvisualisation.xml). Though I changed the multiimage to a largeimage as I only want a single image in the background rather than a fading slideshow. It now looks like this, the line in red gets the fanart from where the music lives. Note that I'm getting my fanart from <music path>/<artist>/<album>/ as I have some "Various Artist" albums and just using the <music path>/<artist>/ obviously isn't going to pick up the right ones. It does mean that you need the same (or different) fanart under each album, but there you go.
Note that the line you need for the original fading slideshow-style multiimage backgrounds, if you have you fanart under the <album> folder, is:
or, if you have fanart under the artist:
Hope that helps.
Code:
<control type="largeimage">
<description>artist slideshow</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>-</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
[color=Red]<texture>$INFO[Skin.String(cdartpath)]/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Album]/fanart.jpg</texture>[/color]
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<visible>!Visualisation.Enabled + Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>
Note that the line you need for the original fading slideshow-style multiimage backgrounds, if you have you fanart under the <album> folder, is:
Code:
[color=Red]<imagepath>$INFO[Skin.String(cdartpath)]/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Album]/</imagepath>[/color]
or, if you have fanart under the artist:
Code:
[color=Red]<imagepath>$INFO[Skin.String(cdartpath)]/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]/</imagepath>[/color]
Hope that helps.
