Hi quick question for latts, a while back you changed the behavior of extrafanart to cycle in the background of shelf 3d v2.
Before this change the same artist thumb in the 16.9 window above the cd's was also displayed as background.
Here's the problem; I want extrafanart images only to cycle on now playing screen, not on album selection screen. I remember you fixing this a while back, I wanna alter that XML to fix. Cheers.

Maybe I should explain better, the busy backgrounds ( i use cinemagraphs) with extrafanart switched on cause my s905x box to crash when browsing CD covers.
I wonder if there is an XML document I can alter to force the shelf 3dv2 view to display default fanart.
I didn't presume to know anything about coding skins, just wondered if there was an easy fix that wouldn't offend people that do enjoy it the way it is. Many thanks.

OK. First download script.module.metadautils-1.0.19.018.zip (295kb) from anywhere you can get it.
In kodi, goto settings>system>addons>updates and change to notify, but don't install updates.
Then settlings>addons>install from zip file and navigate to the zip file, and install.
I'll assume you have local art already album cover (folder.jpg) disc (cdart.PNG) etc stored with album track names, as I have.
Restart kodi so the old metadata module gets loaded, rescan music folders, push 'c' context menu on any album selected, hit artwork options, and Refresh ( auto lookup) and it should pull your local art in. Enjoy.
