FanArt in FileView PM3.HD

[Talle]

Hi.

First of all thank you for everything about XBMC!!!

Second.

I use 8.10 Atlantis beta 2 and would like FanArt to work in FileView DVDview not only in Libary mode.

Anyone know how to accomplish this?

I have searched the forum and only found this:

http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=36372&page=2

My problem with this is:

tried to read between the lines and figured out that MyVideoFiles.xml really meant MyVideo.xml.

Since I like xTV, I did it with this skin.

I was able to add the following lines into MyVideo.xml (right before the Video Label control) and it worked. No need to have any Video Library if the movie-fanart.jpg is available.

I have tested this with XBMCPC so there may be a dimension change need for the real thing...

Now to answer your question:


Quote:
quick question... does it only show the fanart in files mode after scanning to the library? (i'm still in the office and cant check right now.)

I wasn't sure so I went into Settings/Video and Cleaned the Library (before unchecking it)

Went back to the Movies section in my folder and the fanart still work so I assume, it reads it straight from the disk... which is what I wanted

Thanks for your help !

Now I can try to make it a special view that would work better but the proof of concept is here.

I do not find anything containing FanArt in myvideonav.xml and I do not find exactly where to paste the code submited above.

I tried 6 rows up from the end between:

<control type="image">
			<posx>640</posx>
			<posy>0</posy>
			<width>640</width>
			<height>105</height>
			<aspectratio align="right">keep</aspectratio>
			<texture diffuse="Wide_Icon_Diffuse.png">$INFO[Container.TVshowThumb]</texture>
			<visible>Container.Content(Seasons) | Container.Content(Episodes)</visible>
			<include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>		</control>

And this:

<control type="label">
			<include>WindowTitleCommons</include>
			<label>$LOCALIZE[9] - $LOCALIZE[20314]$INFO[Container.PluginName, - ]</label>
		</control>
	</controls>
</window>

The result was looking like this:

		<control type="image">
			<posx>640</posx>
			<posy>0</posy>
			<width>640</width>
			<height>105</height>
			<aspectratio align="right">keep</aspectratio>
			<texture diffuse="Wide_Icon_Diffuse.png">$INFO[Container.TVshowThumb]</texture>
			<visible>Container.Content(Seasons) | Container.Content(Episodes)</visible>
			<include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>
		</control>
<!-- Frazze test -->
<control type="image">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>480</width>
<height>400</height>
<visible>!IsEmpty(listitem.property(fanart_image)) </visible>
<animation effect="fade" end="0" time="200">WindowClose</animation>
<animation effect="fade" start="0" end="100" time="200">VisibleChange</animation>
<texture>$INFO[listitem.property(fanart_image)]</texture>
</control>
<!-- Frazze test -->
		<control type="label">
			<include>WindowTitleCommons</include>
			<label>$LOCALIZE[9] - $LOCALIZE[20314]$INFO[Container.PluginName, - ]</label>
		</control>
	</controls>

The result of this is that it opens FanArt in a window on the left side "over" the left navigations... I would like it to be in the background of the DVD icons... (it only worked with FANART when the movie-fanart.jpg was in the movies folder.)

I guess I just pasted the code in the wrong place in the file since I see the fanart but in the wrong place...

VERY GRATEFULL FOR ANY ASSISTANS!!!!

Tanx!!!
