Set Fanart for items in plugins?

[rwparris2]

Is it possible to set fanart for items in plugins? You can set fanart for the entire plugin, but what about for each individual item?

it should be able to tap into the same code as the movie fanart one. so set the fanart_image property i think it should work

I can't get this to work. It definitely isn't in python docs and I can't find where to look for it in source.

I've tried both of the following:


liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=icon, thumbnailImage=thumb, fanart_image=fanart)

liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=icon, thumbnailImage=thumb fanartImage=fanart)


and various capitalization differences in them, but I always get the same error:

00:23:29 T:3688 M:408256512 NOTICE: liz=xbmcgui.ListItem(name, iconImage=icon, thumbnailImage=thumb, fanartImage=fanart)

anyone have any hints?

It's a property that you need to set.

Thanks guys!
I should have realized spiff ment setProperty when he said "set the fanart_image property"

It is too bad we don't have an emoticon for facepalm. :rolleyes:

If anyone else comes across this you want:

item.setProperty('fanart_image',fanart)

It would be nice to have a list of item properties we can set.
