Hi, I wonder if possible the local discart like below picture, its middle part won't be digged out in the kodi music library. Thanks in advance for every reply.

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/

Sorry for misunderstanding.

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.

Really. I did not know that Kodi placed a centre hole in the disc. Seems strange as the disc already comes with a hole. Maybe @ronie knows why

You are welcome. That is the site where most of the artwork for Movies, TV Shows and Music comes from for Kodi.

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

Thanks for your clarification.

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

something like:
<texture diffuse="cdart_diffuse.png" ... does the job nicely

Hi Scott, did you mean that changing the code could solve the issue? If yes, could you please help specify it? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm actually very worried about it.

That is an example of how a skin can "mask out" areas of a texture by specifying a "diffuse" texture which in turn has its transparency tweaked.  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.

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

Hi Scott, thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

I have found the cdart-diffuse.png of aeon mq8 skin and edit it, it solve the issue successfully.
