For what I know, Cirrus Extended still the skin that better include and support the features offered by Advanced Launcher. And you will have to put the extrafanart of each item (game) into different folder. The skin automatically display as extra-fanarts all the images contained into the folder specified by the Advanced Modification / Custon Folder value of each item. I don't know if there is other skin the support extra fanarts for Advanced Launcher. For you other questions concerning the Cirrus Extended skin, ask them here directly : http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=133
To be clear, if I currently have a structure of \Emulators\Emulator1\Artwork\Videos\ I would have to manually change it to \Emulators\All_Extra_Artowork\Game1\extrafanart\ for it to work?
Are there other skins that support the extrafanart or is it just Cirrus?
Two other questions about Advanced Launcher and Cirrus Extended,
- Can Cirrus automatically detect thumbnail aspect ratios? So for example if I have one item that is square and the other DVD-style tall, can Cirrus figure this out on its own or will it only display one aspect ratio for a whole launcher category?
- The Games home menu automatically loads Advanced Launcher as an add-on? Since I have AL for bother games and several other programs (Chrome, VLC, and a couple others) I am guessing that Cirrus isn't as customizable such that I can have just the game launchers and not the other programs?
Thanks.
You have to understand that Advanced Launcher do not have any direct interaction with the skin. Advanced Launcher is not skin dependent. All the informations are directly send to XBMC and then displayed by the skin. Advanced Launcher do not have any control on how and what it is displayed. Only the skin do.
