Fanart rotation

Hi everyone. First of all i would like to thank everybody responsible for the creation of Media Browser, XBMB3C and the skin modders. You are all great.

I´ve been using the Aeon Nox 5 mod which is awesome, however i would like to know if the rotation of backgrounds of your movies and shows could be disabled. I asked in the Aeon Nox 5 thread, but as i also had this problem with other skins like the Aeon Nox 4 Gotham, i thought it might be a general issue more related with xbmb3c itself. Is it there any way to just stick with the normal fanart image? If not, could this be implemented in the mentioned skins (Aeon MQ5 for example does show only the main fan art background)?

Thank you guys, you´re doing a great job.

Fanart rotation is awesome :D

 

The skin could be modified to disable this - but since it is awesome the devs are not jumping all over it. 

 

Why not just tell MB3 server you only want one image?

Ok, thanks for the answer. I can see why people love this feature, however i feel like it reduces performance and takes longer to load the fanarts. I have tried what you suggest and still think that it is trying to load extrafanarts and thus taking longer to show my main backdrop. I don't know how people aren't noticing this. When i navigate through my movie library with other skins (Aeon mq5) fan art is shown instantly whereas in these other skins, there is a pretty noticeable lag. Anyways im very thankful for all the skins and XBMB3C is still an awesome add-on.

Yes, that is true - the rotating fanart is late-loaded.  As I said it is a pretty easy change - I will look at it next time I update Nox4.

If you want to change this yourself, look in the 1080i folder of the skin for this:

$INFO[Window(Home).Property(MB3.Background.Item.FanArt)] 

and replace it with:

$INFO[ListItem.Art(fanart)]

It might only be in 'variables.xml' - at least that covers most of them.

A quick note that in Titan I made the extrafanart optional now. You can select it in the contextmenu (it's off by default).

Maybe this is something that can/will be embraced by the other skins too...

Maybe we need to make a table of skin features or something.  I am losing track!

Yes I thought that was the aim of the new MediaBrowser Skin Helper script. The coolest feature without a doubt for me is the auto views saving...every skin should have it :)

 

Anyway, a lot of skins do have extrafanart as an option in the skin settings (this is the first I have heard of it in a context menu) for the Kodi Library...this one is something that can be handled by the skinner if he needs.

Yeah, even with the skin helper script though, that doesn't mean everything it can do is implemented.  

 

If a user wants to help - creating a Wiki with a table of skin features would be nice.
