Sorry mate I don't understand. Might just me. But if you use the iPad to select the movie or TV show and then go to the remote the fanart works. But if you select the movie or TV show by using the remote view it does not. So I don't really understand what you mean.

So why does it work in the iPad selection and the. Displays the fanart. But using the remote does not ?

The thing is if you select a different show to view on the iPad and then Go to the remote view it displays a different fanart to what's been played.

Could you not program it so when you play something it gets the poster fanart and thumb and then when you go to a different view or selection it loads your default wallpaper up ?

In the remote control view you are just sending commands to Kodi, it's fire and forget. I have no idea what you are doing. I have no idea that if you send an OK to Kodi you are sending an OK to Kodi for selecting a series. Could also be that you are giving an OK command to shutdown. I am not getting feedback from Kodi. Just a message the command was executed successfully (or not).

Of course I can update the current background with what's playing, but because of the blurred image behind the remote control view you can hardly recognise it, so what's the point.
