View Full Version : Fanart doesn't work anymore
Hi
Since I use Aeon Auriga my fanarts doesn't work anymore. ???
As yet, I used to name my files like these:
movie - name.mkv
movie - name.tbn
movie - name-fanart.jpg
fanart.jpg
folder.jpg
In Aeon Stark this worked great. After I installed the Aeon Auriga Skin, the fanarts won't appear anymore. Also when I change back to the Aeon Stark Skin, the fanarts don't load. Strange thing is, that the "old" fanarts are ok, just the fanarts of the new added movies won't appear. I don't use library mode, just file mode. OS is ubuntu.
Could someone tell me, why this happens?
Thanks a lot!
Your fanart should be named just "fanart.jpg"
Your fanart should be named just "fanart.jpg"
Well my fanart is like this... terminator.divx-fanart.jpg and i keep all my films etc in seperate folders and xbmc uses my fanart without any problems though i am not sure if it would still use them in file mode as i don't use file mode as i thought that was the whole point of xbmc. that's my oppinion

Silly question... but is fanart turned off in Aeon settings?
Are you using Mac (Plex)?
I'm using the latest Plex and fanart is disabled (at least when you scrape from .nfo's).

Sorry forgot to write that I also have a fanart.jpg in each folder.

Is there a special option for fanart? I only found customize -> advanced -> fanart.

Lol. That would be a no then. To put it simply Plex is the Mac version of XBMC.

Is fanart definately turned on in the "up" menu?

Yes, fanart is definitively on (in the movie library). Think, I also forgot to allude, that I use videos instead of movies and so there isn't a special option to turn on the fanart. With movies and library mode everything works.
But I don't understand, why it worked and suddenly it stop working!?

Remove the ""... but why in this Thread? I think this is the right one: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=50417
Could this also be a problem of xbmc itself? Because I recently updated my xbmc.
xbmc version:
xbmc@xbmc:~$ dpkg -l | grep xbmc
ii xbmc 9.04~rc1svn19929-hardy1 The Full XBMC meta package
ii xbmc-common 9.04~rc1svn19929-hardy1 XBMC common package
ii xbmc-skin-pm3-hd 9.04~rc1svn19929-hardy1 XBMC PM3 HD skin package
ii xbmc-web-pm3 9.04~rc1svn19929-hardy1 XBMC Webserver Project Mahem III skin packag
I found this error in the xbmc.log:
08:14:14 T:2842672016 M:1874063360 INFO: msg: PICTURE::LoadImage: Unable to open image: /mnt/video/movie - without - fanart/movie.tbn Error: (2)

Could this be the cause of my problem?
One more error in the log:

No it's not. XBMC for Mac is the Mac version of XBMC. It's based on XBMC but it's a completely different program. :nod:
Perhaps it's helpful: The "movie - name-fanart.jpg" seems to work because when I select a video file in showcase view, I can see the fanart (also in the movie info detail). So just when I am a level higher (also in the show case view) and the fanart.jpg should be shown, nothing happens. Could somebody please check if this bug also happens with him? The whole problem just occur in file mode, library mode is ok.
For testing, I installed xbmc (xbmc - 9.04-hardy1) on my notebook and got the same bug. Now I don't know where I could additionally search!?

Now you tell us.:rolleyes:
Fanart only works in Library mode.

Really? Are you sure? Because at the beginning it worked (even with Aeon Stark). I have about 50 movies with fanart and they still have fanart. Just the new added movies don't have fanart. That's also the reason why I ask.
File mode, showcase view, movie with fanart:

File mode, showcase view, movie without fanart:

(the picture with the tv is my standard backdrop for videos)
Both folder contain the fanart.jpg. Could this be possible!? ???
Very strange.
It works for TV Shows for me but not Movies.
Ok I think I got it. The latest svn that worked, was
xbmc - 9.04~beta1svn19641-hardy1
From the
xbmc - 9.04~beta1svn19693-hardy1
the fanarts are not displayed.
Hopefully this will be fixed.
I wonder if it's this change then -
http://xbmc.org/trac/changeset/19678
EDIT: No it's not that change just tried a build after it they work.
I think this won't be fixed :no:
