Not sure what "bug" you're referring to, as this has been covered before. The lack of instantaneous fanart switching is on purpose, to prevent scrolling speed suffering as the program tries to desperately load one fanart file after another.

Now the program only loads fanart when you've paused over an item for a couple of seconds.

Just continuing this discussion here instead of in the main thread...

Previous versions of the skin did not exhibit this behaviour, nor does Aeon (from the last time I ran it). It would be swell if those of us who do not have a scrolling speed problem (because we have fast processors/lots of memory) could have an option to turn this back on. I understand the issue for xbox's and slow pc's, and don't know if it would be a lot of work to re-implement it by choice but hey, that is my request.

Thanks!

well... yeah, the immediate fanart idea didn't go down to well with the masses, and thus, i decided to remove it... sorry... what u need to do if u want it back... is edit the... MyVideoNav.xml and change the control which is pointing to fanart_image and has Control.IsVisible(899) and Control.IsVisible(57) in its visibility tag... remove the Control.IsVisible(899) from that visibility tag and it should show up immediately... sorry, can't sort it out for u, because my files are unavailable on this computer... hope u can get it to work!!!!

Did a little searching and xb2iris seems to have already posted the answer. I tried this fix and it indeed works (just search for Control.IsVisible(899) in the xml file and delete the reference. The only hitch is that it doesn't show random fanart for movies without their own, but its better than before with fanart only loading on hover.

Thanks for sharing your findings rainmaker. I'm still having trouble getting this to work on my own. I've removed the 'Control.IsVisible(899) tag without any change. I am running this on Plex, could that have anything to do with it?

I'm using Plex too and have a fast machine.

Anyone had any luck getting this "fix" to work?

I deleted
+ Control.IsVisible(899)
from MyVideoNav.xml, I'm using Plex and it works for me.
Edit: it works in info view type, but not in showcase.

I have a Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 24" iMac.

When I remove the "Control..... 899)" line, Plex lags really bad when scrolling through movies in Info view.

Is it the same for you?

wish i had the time to help out here... pitty im in an internet cafe... but lets just say, instantaneous fanart would make a lot of people complain... and they did when it was like that before... so, ill try and help out later when i give it a think... in a rush

I have a Core 2 Duo 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, 20" iMac and yes, Plex lags badly when you try to scroll fast.

But I like to use instantaneous fanart, because now I have in my home menu Animations, HD-movies, Bond, Classics and Concerts instead of movies. And other than Bond fanart behind Bond movies doesn't feel right (or other movie art behind animations or movie art behind concerts). And because I have these categories, I don't have to scroll so much anymore.

If I could use custom fanart with different smart playlists, my system would be perfect for me.

I tried to change "Control.IsVisible(899)" to "Control.IsVisible(199)", to make the delay before fanart appears shorter (if I completely remove the line, Plex lags badly).

But, with "199" no fanart appears, what are the correct values to input, to make the delay time shorter (and is the (899) number miliseconds or?)?
