Can fanart be setup similar to Aeon? - JRuss2k - 2009-04-08 Hey all, I love this skin but the only thing currently holding me back from using it is that there is a generic background as I rotate through movies/TV shows in showcase mode. In Aeon, I the fanart appears as I cycle through each selection. Is there a way to duplicate this behavior in Horizonz? Thanks, James - StratMangler - 2009-04-08 Yes, it's a standard option that comes with this skin. - Anjow - 2009-04-08 Look in the Horizonz menu, it's under backgrounds. - JRuss2k - 2009-04-08 Great, thank you both. - JRuss2k - 2009-04-09 I just tried it and it is not doing what I hoped. I suspect I was not clear in my original question. The Horizonz/Features setting you can select whether to use fan art. However, fan art only appears after a pause not when I immediate switch movies (in showcase layout). The Horizonz/Backgrounds option allows me to select a static background or a folder to rotate backgrounds (that won't necessarily have anything to do with the movie, just random pictures. What I am looking for is instant fan art switching as I switch movies instead of waiting until after I pause. I appreciate any help, James - StratMangler - 2009-04-09 I'm guessing there might be a delay that was put in an XML and maybe that delay can be changed from 3000 or 5000 ms to something like 1 or 0, but I don't know where that would be. - Anjow - 2009-04-09 If you select Iron Man in the movies list, you want it to show Iron Man fanart, for example? - JRuss2k - 2009-04-09 That is correct. And I want to see it the moment I switch to the movie. Essentially whatever generic background is configured would never show except when fanart does not exist. - nymart - 2009-04-09 Short answer is NO as far as I know...I posted this same issue when Horizon IV first came out but thus far have not found a solution. There was a solution when using Version 3 which is posted here and works GREAT: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=40171 I ended up reverting back to V3 as I felt it ruined the experience. If it ever gets fixed in V4 then I'll update again. - frater - 2009-04-09 If the fanart of that movie has to appear immediately when it's selected it becomes impossible to browse your collection. It was actually a feature request of mine and it makes it more pleasant to scroll through the collection. - mhouston100 - 2009-11-19 I would like the same thing if its possible, I have a pretty beefy HTPC so even if it had to pre-cache the next 5-10 fanarts etc (im not a coder so not sure how hard that is ) |
