Ok:

Fanart:
Has two meanings which I think is where we are falling down here:

1. It is the slidescreen of images (eg. extrafanart)

This will show a slideshow of the artist during playback... like this; fullscreen with no info..



To enable this for Music need to turn off the Current Now Playing screen:
TURN OFF


&
Need to download Artists details to your music folder:
Format:
Music Source\artistName\extrafanart

CD Art Manager does this for you.


(Frontview will also use th cdart.png that CDArt downloads per album)

2.
Fanart - also means the backdrop


For example the cat picture.


This Image depends on this image being sent from Kodi/available.
It is available for most plugins - and if not, can be fairly easily added to the plugin code/upgraded.
Google Music Plugin - sends the fanart out:

For example this:
Playing - Song playing/streaming using Google Music from Kodi (backdrop/fanart is shown/present)




Hope with this understanding we can clarify what is working not.
