Hello,
As I play music a lot in Kodi, I've been thinking about fanart for individual albums.
I came across this thread:
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=349174&page=2
How easy would it be to add something like that to the skin? When I say 'like that', I mean having fanart specific to an album when the album is playing, if that makes sense?
From reading the thread, it suggests changing the music viz xml to include this code:
<control type="image">
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="300">WindowClose</animation>
<texture background="true" colordiffuse="88FFFFFF">$INFO[Player.Art(album.fanart)]</texture>
<visible>String.IsEmpty(Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.Image))</visible>
</control>
<control type="image">
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<fadetime>400</fadetime>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="400">WindowOpen</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="300">WindowClose</animation>
<texture background="true" colordiffuse="88FFFFFF">$INFO[Player.Art(fanart)]</texture>
<visible>String.IsEmpty(Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.Image) + String.IsEmpty(Player.Art(album.fanart))</visible>
</control>
Now, I'm not asking anybody to spend any time on this by any means. I was just wondering how easy would this be for me to implement (If at all possible, seeing this thread is a couple of years old and things may have changed)? Bearing in mind that I'm not a skinner.
Maybe this function is already there?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
