@leoliu
I am not really sure what you are asking. Do you want Kodi to add the centre hole?
There are tutorials on fanart.tv that explain how to create discart... https://fanart.tv/type/cdart-2/

Actually, I don't want kodi to add the centre hole. As displayed in the picture, I didn't dig the centre hole out. But in the kodi music library, it is automatically digged out to display.
Btw, the website you provided is very good and I really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

that's a thing skins can do. they can apply a 'mask' on top of the discart image to make the center hole transparent.

I will go to the skin support forum to ask for further help.

The problem you have is identifying the exact image control that the skin is using to display the discart. I would probably use something like notepad++ where you can search for "discart" across all the xml files in the skin, to see where that art is being used. From those results look for the xml file that corresponds to the window you are concerned with. It will take some effort. If you tell me what skin is involved, I can probably save you some time.(2020-04-11, 00:17)scott967 Wrote:Hi Scott, did you mean that changing the code could solve the issue?

OK. MQ8 shows discart in a couple different places. Is this what you are looking for?
