Maybe I am missing a config flag somewhere or I am missing the point (both are valid options since I've only been playing with xbmc in it's current form for 2 weeks).
When I enable fanart in music and make sure the music file-path is set to my network share I only get the fanart to show in the menu/vis screen when the "fanart.jpg" is actually within the <artist> folder. However when I download the fanart by clicking <info> on my remote while in the artist view and do a refresh it stores it in my userdata/Thumbnails/Music/Fanart folder making them unavailable to Transparency.
So my question is (obviously) is there a way to fix this so I can download using my remote instead of manually searching and storing ?
Furthermore when looking for the fanart is there a possibility to check for fanart based on <Album Artist> instead of <Artist> because I have CD's which will have <Album Artist> & <Guest Artists> - <Title> which seems to break the Fanart lookup.
