If you're talking about the Right List view, you can open ViewsRightList.xml and find this...

Sorry, no, it's not Right List view.
I'm pretty sure it's in MusicVisualisation.xml but I'm not sure exactly what the code is.

Example: I have a folder with music tracks in it, in mp3 and the ARTIST is "Elvis" in the mp3 tag.
I now have a folder named "Artists-Images"... and it has subfolder named "Elvis\extrafanart\... and inside have image1.jpg image2.jpg image3.jpg etc
I then setup the path to point to "Artist-Images" and activate "extrafanart" and select pan and scan

When I start playing the music tracks ... it correctly starts a slideshow with all the images in "Artists-Images\Elvis\extrafanart\..."
But the images are a bit hazy...probably due to a diffuser or mask/color or something... which I think must be some code in in MusicVisualisation.xml.

@senzalice
I've looked at the same fanart in views and music viz and I don't see a difference. Does your artwork also appear hazy while viewing Artists?

Hi @latts9923
Thanks for taking time and looking into MusicVisualisation.
I've probably not explained clearly what i'm trying to do.
So what i've done is played around with MusicVisualisation.xml and i've de-activated a number of code sections by trial and error.
I've managed to remove some of the "masks" or "haze" from my images.
The images from the "extrafanart" folder are now displaying much brighter or clearer...but could probably be improved more.

I'm only using the section "layout estilo 2" (the green text is what i've modified"
Sorry for the long paste below, I'm not sure how else to do it.

@senzalice
Ah...OK, I gotcha.

Juan Mortyme · 2022-11-25, 07:27

@latts9923

I've been wondering if it is possible to change the font used for plot text?

The thing is, I have some nfo which contain columns and because the font used is proportional the columns don't align. I need a monospaced font to achieve proper alignment. I realize a wholesale switch to a monospaced font would no doubt create problems with other information fitting into it's allotted space but that shouldn't be a problem with the plot since it is not confined to a fixed length.

latts9923 · 2022-11-25, 13:28

@Juan Mortyme
Sure, I can always make a button to switch between fonts for the plot. Can you send me an example NFO with columns?

UPDATE #31 - This will update the skin to v1.0.3.1

Additions

I added a new button in the music viz settings that's named "HIDE MUSIC CHANNEL AND CODEC". This controls the display of the audio channel and music codec icons for layout 7. It is disabled by default and only visible when layout 7 is selected. Thanks to wags1 for the request!
I added a new button in the music viz settings that's named "HIDE JEWEL CASE". This controls the display of the jewel case for layout 3D. It is disabled by default and only visible when layout 3D is selected. If enabled, the slide animations will not work, but the disc art still displays. Thanks to Chalklands for the request!
I added a new button in the music viz settings that's named "HIDE WEATHER AND DATE". This controls the display of the weather and date for layout 3D. It is disabled by default and only visible when layout 3D is selected. Thanks to Chalklands for the request!
I added a new button in the music viz settings that's named "HIDE RATING STAR AND SONG INFO". This controls the display of the rating star and song info for layout 3D. It is disabled by default and only visible when layout 3D is selected. Thanks to Chalklands for the request!
I added a new button in the music viz settings that's named "HIDE NEXT SONG INFO". This controls the display of the next song info for layout 3D. It is disabled by default and only visible when layout 3D is selected. Thanks to Chalklands for the request!
The Grab Fanart Script backgrounds for the Main Menu will now display for video playlists if you add one as a Main Menu item. Thanks to Eladios for the request!
I added a new button in SKIN SETTINGS > ICONS AND IMAGES that's named "HIDE MISSING FLAG ICON". When enabled, it will hide the "..." image that displays for missing media flags. Thanks to Juan Mortyme for the idea!
I added code to the Shelf 3D and Shelf 3D v2 music views to fix a problem with the fanart images not displaying correctly in the top right window if "KEEP BACKGROUND'S ASPECT RATIO" is enabled. Thanks to Chalklands for the request!
I added the disc art to albums and songs for the Wide view.
I added the audio and subtitle language icons to Shelf 3D. They will display if you have "AUDIO AND SUBTITLE FLAGS" set to "LOGO".

Bug fixes

I added a button named "SHOW DIFFUSE FOR DISC ART" in the Top Menu for Albums or Songs. This fixes the problem introduced in the last update where I removed the diffuse image and disc art that had a background outside the disc image was being displayed.
I fixed a problem with the "LOGO IN CD" button. If it was enabled, it would display the blank CD whether you have disc art available or not. Thanks to Holzfred for reporting the bug!
I scrubbed the music viz layouts that display the artist logo. They will now display the Artist's logo (if available) and then fallback to the Artist as text if the logo is missing. Thanks to RB0135 for reporting the bug!
The Artist's clearlogo was not displaying in the Poster view.
I fixed the "EXTRA FANART" art setting for Music if you do not have additional artwork already applied to the Artist (fanart1, fanart2, etc.). To see the artwork, set the "PATH:" setting in the Top Menu to your Artist Information Folder and create an extrafanart subfolder with your artwork for each Artist.

Maintenance

I cleaned up some discart animation in the 3D views.

@latts9923

I've been checking out Nexus for a while now. I installed v4 of your repo but when I check it for latest update the only thing visible is the repo file itself. Nothing else at all? Matrix notified and updated smoothly.

latts9923 · 2022-11-25, 15:22

@Juan Mortyme
I created the Nexus repo to display for the Beta 1 pre-release build (v19.90.801). If you're running a Nightly build you may not see my repo. You can download the files from the repo here.

Juan Mortyme · 2022-11-25, 15:31

@latts9923
I was running nightly but it was an alpha3 version. I just saw the beta1 release and have installed the regular prelease from the download page but I still don't see anything in the repo.

latts9923 · 2022-11-25, 15:51

@Juan Mortyme
If you go to Settings, do you see (19.90.801) in the version info up top?

@latts9923

Yup, that's the version. I installed from zip the skin v1.0.0.0 and freaked for a second when I thought I lost all my settings. Then I realized a new skin name means the settings file needs to be copied manually. LOL
