Dear All,
I'm desperately turning to this forum, because I'm unable to find a solution for my extra poster/fanart problems.
If I understand correctly, using the Aeon Nox Silvo skin, it's possible to use extra fanart.jpg, or poster.jpg, files which will rotate in a set number of seconds. Filenaming would be posterx.jpg, or fanartx.jpg, where x is an increasing number starting from 1, and depending the implementation in the skin maximum of 6-20 images. Most interesting for me is the rotating posters, but rotating fanart instead of posters is something I would consider as well.
I've been trying to solve this problem now for more then 8 weeks, but shamingly can't find it. Tried many new installation, re-installations, removing textures13.db and thumbnails many times. I've been trying using vmware as well, and kodi installed on a virtual installation, all without results.
I'm using following setup as intended main solution for a mediaplayer option:
-Raspberry Pi 3B+
-OSMC 2020-11-1
-Aeon Nox Silvo skin 7.09
-List view
-Local art, on the used NAS shares
(fanart.jpg/poster.jpg)
-No scrapers, nothing of the kind
-Shares are created under videos in the main menu
NAS shares:
Share -> Series folder => TV Show => Season folders
Under TV Show folder I also created the extrafanart folder containing fanartx.jpg and posterx.jpg files. In the TV Show itself I have the fanart,jpg and poster.jpg files.
I also tried using the fanartx.jpg and posterx.jpg files in the TV Show folder, but not working as well.
The single fanart.jpg/poster.jpg are working properly, but the extra rotating poster or fanart images, I can't get to work.
For these shares I tried options as containing "Nothing", or containing "Movies". I've tried "Artwork Beef", Artwork Downloader, and "Toolbox.Script", because in the many threads I've found on the internet, these were suggested as possible solutions, or required for what I'm trying to achieve. I've tried using an "extrafanart" folder with in it "fanartx.jpg" files. I've tried "Local Art" as scraper option for the shares themselves. Everything to no avail. Left cursor menu under media has the "ExtraFanart" option enabled.
I know this has been asked many many many times, especially looking at all the threads I find on the internet for it. Nowhere though am I able to find a solution if what I'm trying is at all possible, and if possible, how.
-Can anyone please shed some light on this.
-Is it possible with the above setup description to have local art and rotating poster or fanart?
-If so, can anyone please help me with instructions on how to do this?
Thanks you so much for any, and all, efforts taken/given to help me with this.
Best regards,
