I am adding OSTs to my Kodi music collection and I found a problem that maybe can be solved easily... I don't know.
Using Kodi 18.7 in Android TV and official repo SiLVO version.
I want album (specific) fanarts for that albums, and I searched the way to go in forum. I edited the advancedsettings file and I get automatically the fanart (and even clearlogo) for the OST from his folder. I can see the artwork in the various list layouts while navigating the OST node, all perfect.
But the problem is when I am playing the music. As the OST artists has no fanart (no artwork) I always get the artists fanart slideshow in the background, as if the background option was that: artists slideshow. I want the specific album fanart while playing the OST, but I don't know how to get it. I found some workarounds in other skins editing the xml, but I read too that with SiLVO that would work that way by default if the album has an assigned fanart. Its that possible? Do I need a manual edit to xml to get it? If yes, what and where?
Thanks in advance!
BTW: In music visualization while playing, the album art and track info dissapears after a few seconds. I need to press the "context menu" button in remote to get it permanently, but I get the "ugly" control buttons too, and I prefer the date&time. Is there an option or edit needed to get that info & art without fade off?
