Hmm, seems that it gets resized...

becuase the icon I had was 512x512px this one is even bigger but it turns out just as small...


- reaven - 2009-07-09

it suppose to get resize, but or your album cover is too big or your cdArt is too small ! and I really dont know why because it seems nobody else have this problem.

you never told me what your resolution 1080p or 720p


- olafg - 2009-07-09

I'm running 720p most of the time(testing). Album covers are from 500x to 1500x but they resize fine, no problem with that. it's cdart that is messing up


- reaven - 2009-07-09

weird that also my resolution I really dont know why is doing that !

Could a nice person explain step by step how to get standard cdarts to work using "gimp" lol can't seem to get it right lol


- joebrady - 2009-07-09

Just how I do it:

Open Gimp
Open the picture of the cd you want to work with.
Go to Layer>Transparency>Add Alpha Channel
Select the Ellipse Select Tool, and make a selection around the outside of the cd as shown.
ImageImage
Click Select>Invert (or just hit CTRL+I)
Click Cut (or hit CTRL+X)
Then select the inside of the cd the same way and cut it out.
Click off the image
Go to Image>AutoScale
Go to Image>Scale Image and set it to 500X500 pixels.
You should be left with this.

Is there a way to get fallback on fanart too?

you cut too much, you should left the center transparent plastic.

Quote: Is there a way to get fallback on fanart too?
no that I know, but if you have other pictures in the root artist_fanart folder I mean directly in the artist_fanart folder(no in artist/band folder) if you have a picture or pictures there like general pictures and the media player dont find fanart in the individual folder it will load pictures from there

You're right, I was just doing a quick one for an example. Wink

did you try it?


- reaven - 2009-07-10

if you have any suggestion please post it!


- joebrady - 2009-07-10

Just personal preference, but I miss the line between the Artist and Album.

Can others add the cd art that they've made to your pack?

Where'd you get the Pink Floyd background?
