Please help me out giftie, this is driving me nuts!
In library mode, I cannot get the artist thumbs to show up. On top of this, the fanart refuses to show up. It is selected in the viewtype settings within the page (Aeon Nox 3.0) and is present in the relevant folders.
Any advice please sir...?

Wait a little bit.. Testing the next release, which will add the thumbnails to XBMC's Thumbnails directory. Which should solve your issue.

Is there any way to have the skin look in the music directory for the artist thumbs and fanart?
I have the cdarts in each music artists folder which show up great, but the other images seem to only be able to be displayed if they are in the userdata folder. This makes it difficult to add and delete images manually as they all have unrecognisable names.

Are these files downloaded by cdART Manager, or placed in the folders by you? Version 2.6.6 forward, cdART Manager will copy/replace the files in the userdata/Thumbnails/Music folders. It will do this for every artwork downloaded and during an 'Update Thumbnail and Fanart'.

Well, both really. I can copy the images as you said, but still the skin will not read the files in this location right?
Currently, here is an example of my folder structure:
/ Music
// Artist
folder.jpg
fanart.jpg
logo.png
// Album
folder.jpg
cdart.png
As I understand it, these images are not being read currently.
It would just make it a whole lot easier if the skin, script, whatever looked in the music folders themselves rather than the userdata folder. Especially in regards to smb shares.
