v18 Album fanart
#1
I'm trying to modify Confluence Zeitgeist (which I think is a mod of standard confluence with a modern look and some extra options) to be able to see album fanarts while playing them.

By long-pressing over the desired album, I select the fanart and from that moment I can see it in the home screen:

...so far so good.

But then, when I'm in the album view or when I play it, I only get the Artist fanart picture:

I don't understand this behaviour but let's go to the file 720p/MusicVisualisation.xml. In it, we can see:

xml:
<control type="image">
<description>Fanart Image for Artist</description>
<left>0</left>
<top>0</top>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
<texture background="true">$INFO[Player.Art(fanart)]</texture>
<colordiffuse>AAFFFFFF</colordiffuse>
<visible>!String.IsEmpty(Player.Art(fanart)) + !Skin.HasSetting(HideVisualizationFanart)</visible>
<fadetime>600</fadetime>
</control>

I've been trying to use other variables from https://kodi.wiki/view/InfoLabels#Visualisation instead of $INFO[Player.Art(fanart)] with no luck. Does anyone what should I do to properly see the album fanart as the background?

Regards and thanks in advance.

I think what you want is $INFO[Player.Art(album.fanart)]

Thanks, jjd-uk, it worked like a charm. Do you know why that field doesn't appear in the above link?

From that page is https://kodi.wiki/view/InfoLabels#Images...le_in_Kodi which takes you to https://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork/Accessing...d_JSON-RPC although admittely from there was some guess work using the examples https://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork/Accessing...work_types since it shows album cover as Player.Art(album.thumb) so I figured all that was probably needed was to swap fanart for thumb. I think the setting of album fanart is new for v18 so maybe the page just hasn't been updated to take account of all the possibilities.
