in musicvisualisation.xml
within your control <description>artist slideshow</description>, add
<include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>
it creates a nice fade effects between artists fanarts !
so the control is :
it is the include normaly used in the home pageCode:<!--artist slideshow if fanart exist in define folder-->
<control type="multiimage">
<description>artist slideshow</description>
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>-</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<imagepath>backdrops/artist_fanart/$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]</imagepath>
<timeperimage>4000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<pauseatend>4000</pauseatend>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<loop>yes</loop>
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
<include>Animation_BackgroundFade</include>
<visible>!Visualisation.Enabled + Player.HasAudio</visible>
</control>
<!-- end artist slideshow -->
I have been trying to get this to work but the fade animation is not working properly. It's like it starts to fade for maybe a half second then it just skips to the next picture. The fades on the home screen and fanart backgrounds are all very smooth and gentle. I don't know enough about skinning to really troubleshoot it on my own. I have tried saving the jpgs as bmps but it didnt make a difference. Do any of you have any idea how I could fix this?
I really love this mod otherwise.
