During audio playback if fanart always on and not using nowplaying info screen will show slideshow of artist fanart (regardless of browsing menu tv/movies etc) Enables fanart artist slideshow to continue during visualisation etc
Details of artist from
'Music Source / artistname / extrafanart /'
Appears to be default from artwork.downloader
Have installed Build 125. I couldn't quite understand what it was supposed to change.
I can either get a screen where it shows the fanart large and small, but no pause / fast forward etc menu or a screen which shows the art with the audio being played but the fanart in the background is on rotation.
What I ideally wanted is when I am playing a single or album it shows the art of the album together with the background art of the artist along with the pause / fast forward etc menu. If that isn't what Build 125 was supposed to do, no worries!
Ok - what build 125/126 does is plays a slideshow of artist fanart if fanartalways is enabled and NOT using nowplaying info screen for audio.
If browsing music directory will use default fanart for all music, once start playing a file it looks for artist specific fanart - ie.
Music source = G:\Music, artist located G:\Music\artist folder\extrafanart
This is the default of cdArt Manager Downloader/image downloader at least on my system. Obviously can change - and happy to discus - and did consider album specific extrafanart but likely fewer images/ not sure an automatic downloader.
So if this artist folder and extrafanart folder/files exists when playback starts will show slideshow of the currently playing artist - until,playback stops regardless of visualisation/ other menus etc.
If no images will default to default music fanart - presume what is happening in your system.
Now the Nowplaying current info screen fanart - this is dependent on Kodi and kodis information about album and artist fanart. If that is incorrect likely incorrect in Kodi somewhere or no fanart.
