[G0mez]

I've set youtube channels to be shown on shelve. Noticed that poster and square is showing video image but fanart isn't. So was wondering if fanart could show image aswell, pretty much the same way as it's shown on youtube?

@G0mez,  unfortunately, the YouTube addon reports its own fanart as the fanart for shelf items from that addon, so that is what Amber displays.  For poster and square, Amber defaults to the item icon, which is a video fanart as provided by the YouTube addon.

I can see how it is more useful to have the video fanart when you select Fanart as the artwork type, so I have added a new setting to prefer the Thumb instead of the addon fanart for YouTube shelves.  You can find the setting here:



With that setting enabled, you get the video fanart for YouTube shelves which for which you set Fanart as the artwork type:



This only works for YouTube addon shelves.  The changes are already on GitHub (Matrix only at the moment).  Please test and let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong as can't get it work. Have set youtube shelve to use fanart and have enabled that new option

EDIT: Well what do you know, by disabling 'show fanart' option on youtube addon settings made it work :}

EDIT: though now when I disabled 'show fanart' option on youtube addon settings, have youtube shelve set to use fanart and 'use item thumb and not addon fanart for youtube shelves' option disabled, it's working correctly. So my issue is still there with this new option
