Okay, cool. That's great! I still don't understand why it is so hard to display the fanart though. I mean, "go up one directory and use fanart.jpg for wallpaper/background" or "search for fanart.jpg in the artist folder and use the file for wallpaper/background" can't be that hard to add, no?
It's hard to understand the problem from a simple user point of view... :\
Edit: Also, I just saw this in the changelog:
Quote:Added: Basic integration for XBMC's shiny new JSON-RPC interface. Looking good but still a lot missing. Deactivated by default.
So maybe it's already implemented? Yes? No? How to test it?

There is currently no way to set the mentioned property through the httpapi. And i guess it isn't set by the api or xbmc itself. So we simply can't do it.

AFAIK Music playing isn't implemented at all right now. I guess you'll have to wait a little.
aww guys sorry to bitch again but this really kills it for me. 800 music albums and more than 550 artists, each with full hd fanarts, and the remote doesn't support it. is json-rta progressing? any eta maybe? *fingers crossed*
You may find some answers if you search the forum.

Guess what? I did search the forum and couldn't find any answers...at all.
Ok, I take that back then
Only if XBMC itself starts the player with the fanart flag. JSON is still experimental in our code and it isn't even included in the releases.
So I upgraded to Dharma and tried the fanart flag thing but it doesn't work for me.
7 months after opening this thread, still no fanart support for the Android remote.
Very disappointing
I don't see your point. Reading back in this thread it was discussed that what you're requesting is the Transparency skin behavior and completely independent from the remote application itself. Or did I misunderstand something?

I got it just the other way round. It's skin independent and a missing feature in httpapi. No?
Whatever the heck it is, I'm still hoping for a quick fix.
Or if anyone knows a workaround, please let me know.

No.
This issue was reported over 13 months ago and it's still not fixed. I don't know why that is, but it looks like noone cares. If you like fanarts and want to see them when playing you music, at the moment there is only one option: Forget the Android remote and use a normal ir one.
Sad, but I'm not even hoping for a fix anymore
