Fanart on the homepage. I have gone through loads of threads on this forum and think I have folder structure sussed. I've also gone through threads dedicated to various scrapers and have all the settings as recommended. I have updated my library and 'query info for all albums', I just can't get fanart to show on the homepage for Music.
I have attached images so you can see my problem.
IMG1 - Artist folder with Album folders, fanart.jpg, folder.jpg and logo.png
IMG2 - Album folder - MP3 files (all of which have the artwork embedded using MP3Tag), cover.jpg, folder.jpg and cdart.png
IMG3 - Music Home. Circled is the album I have used in the folder images. Notice no fanart or album art show. However...
IMG4 - Library view - Suddenly it all appears. Going back to the home screen makes it all vanish again, so I try another album.
IMG5 - Music home - Highlighted album. Album art shows, yet still no fanart background.
IMG6 - Back to Library and it shows?
IMG7 - Music Video home - Just a quick check and yes, fanart backgrounds show on the homescreen!
I am obviously not doing something... or does this skin simply not allow fanart backgrounds on the music home?

Yup it is not working for the recent Albums Widget.
That is the only Widget whose data is retrieved from the skin.widgets service. The new widgets implementation is done via smart playlist and apperantly. The fanart display doesnt work with data coming from the skin. Widgets addon.
You can try this by simply selecting other albums widget. Then you will see the fanart. I will try and fix it for the recent albums widget.
Regarding the missing cover, that is something in your library.
