I have enabled it on the side menu in my library but it still only shows the main fanart. Is there another setting I have to enable somewhere or is my extra fanart setup wrong? I have an extrafanart folder in each of my separate movie folders (which I thought was the standard).
I am running it on Leia RC.
Edit: It works fine on my PC (Windows) but not my Shield TV (Android)
There are two possible ways of handling extrafanart in the skin:
1. Artwork Beef + Artwork Helper - https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=258886
2. SkinHelper (skin will use SkinHelper if AB + AH aren't installed)
I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working on Android - The only thing I can think is that SkinHelper is no longer a required dependency of the skin, so you need to manually install it.
You can check if it is installed in Skin Settings > Manage Dependencies. Make sure that you have all the API keys setup in metadatautils, otherwise SkinHelper imposes a delay before fetching info.
However, personally I find Artwork Beef w/ Artwork Helper to be more reliable for extrafanart, but it really does come down to personal preference.
With AB, you can click the Download All Artwork button from the movie info screen top menu and it will automatically add all your local extendedfanart to the db for that movie (or you can run the actual add-on from the add-ons section to do a batch search and add all local extrafanart files to library). AH will then use extendedfanart from the db the next time you enter the movie section.
Have just studied your skin. xml's for a while. Looks very neat and tidy!
I was actually looking for how you implemented the new way of Extrafanart (Artwork Beef + Artwork Helper). I can not find anything in the code! Do you not use multiimage via fadelabel control?
EDIT: Found the code Includes_Global.xml in <!-- Artwork Helper Extra Fanart --> but it's not retrieving extrafanart over -fanart1, -fanart2... cause i still see the extrafanarts rotating when i refresh a movie, it's still coming from extrafanarts folder.
EDIT 2: Tested a lot and i do understand slowly your system how to implementet ExtraFanart.
Code: plugin://script.artwork.helper/multiimage/listitem/?refresh=$INFO[ListItem.DBID]&&arttype=fanart
If fanarts are read into kodi (by ArtworkBeef) it's picking up them (even if it's just one -> fanart1), if no fanart is read into kodi by ArtworkBeef (only main fanart exists) then its looking into the extrafanarts folder.
On both its mixing with the main fanart. If no extrafanart folder exist, and also no extrafanart read into kodi, only main fanart is shown -> best system ever! i like that even more than my fadelabel control system.
