I forgot to post this as a new feature...

I added the 3d art to Music Info for albums and songs. I also added a new button to switch between 3dcase, 3dface, 3dflat and 3dthumb. Thanks to toutoune29 for the request!


I just fixed a problem that I introduced when this was added. Your clearart/clearlogo in Music Info will overlap the new 3D art if both are available. I have a fix that will hide the clearart/clearlogo for Albums/Songs that have 3D art.

Thanks you for the continuous updates @latts9923.
One question though. How does one add 3d art for albums etc as above (as above, centre right)? I tried going into Artwork Options/Manual Configure Artwork and selecting an image for 3D face etc, but nothing is showing.

[latts9923]

@Chalklands
You're welcome! If you go to the info screen for an album and select "GET THUMB" you can manually add the 3D art.

Thanks @latts9923!
That's working fine.
How do I add discart next to the cover?

[latts9923]

@Chalklands
You bet! That's the 3dface image...not all albums will have this image available. You can search theaudiodb.com for these images.

Just a general question, as I have no idea about modding or skinning. Wondering if there are any plans to add in support in the skin for the Jurialmunkey Wikipedia addon? Or is that outside the boundaries of a skin mod?

[latts9923]

@Chalklands
I had to make a tweak to jurialmonkey's module add-on to get it installed on Matrix, but here it is...


I've never heard of this, but it's actually a cool addition to the skin. It's working with MQ 9 on Nexus and Omega as well. It will be part of the next update. Thanks for asking about it!

Thank you @latts9923. That would be amazing.
To be honest I was just posing the question if it was possible/planned, not actually expecting you to run with it and so quickly!
The only skin I've seen it used in is Arctic Fuse. It's a great feature IMO.
I've just realised that I posted my question in the wrong thread. I meant to post it in the Matrix mod thread! Sorry about that.

UPDATE #13

Additions

• I added support for jurialmonkey's Wikipedia add-on. The add-on is available in my repo under Program add-ons. There is a new button in the context menu named "WIKIPEDIA". Thanks to Chalklands for the request!
  
• I added the "FANART WINDOW" button to TV Shows in the Top Menu for View Type-24 and 26 (Shelf 3D and Shelf 3D v2). By default it will display the landscape artwork. You can switch to "TV SHOW FANART" to display fanart. Thanks to Shredder_guitar for the request!
  

Maintenance

• You can now use View Type-31 for Files and Genres. Thanks to toutoune29 for the request!
  
• I changed the "FANART WINDOW" for Seasons to display the Season's landscape art and changed the label to display "LANDSCAPE ART" instead of "SEASON FANART". Thanks to Shredder_guitar for the request!
  
• If you have "ARTWORK HELPER" enabled, Episodes will now display the TV Show fanart if the Season fanart is missing. Thanks to Shredder_guitar for the request!
  

*This update will require another skin reset for new settings to be forced to settings.xml.
