Fanart Rotation main screen

Hi everybody,

 

I use fanart rotation on the main screen but I think there is a problem or I don't understand the option very well.

 

It seems that the fanart displayed is picked up into the entire collection, so for my TV shows the fanart chosed is a lot of time a music CD art, or a movie fanart.

 

Is there the way that must work  ?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I'm using Titan media browser.

That's strange as it should only show fanart for the tile that is focused. Did you enable section backgrounds?

Hi,

 

Yes the option is activated.  The only tile who has this problem if for TV Show;  I have renamed this one to Series. 

The problem comes from there ?

Just tested this and I can't replicate the issue altough I'd recommend you to change the name of the collection in the MediaBrowser server itself. That way you'll have the same naming on all your clients. Or did you mean the tile for "all tv shows" ?

The skin will by default show all your collections (media folders) in the skin and there will also be a "all movies" and "all tv shows" tile

 

Are you on the stable or the beta version of the skin ? It could be that this issue was fixed last week in the beta as there have been some changes on the image handling of the skin.

Hi,

 

Sorry for the delay with my response, I only post during week-end.

The collection was renamed into MB, not into kodi;  I tried with the beta 3.2.29 and the problem is the same.  It's very strange because I have this problem only with this collection.  All others (Films, Concerts, etc) are correct.

OK, thanks. How can I reproduce ? Do I have to rename my tvshows collection to just "series" ?

Hi,

 

I don't know if this is suffisiant to reproduce the bug.  I tried to rename it back to 'TV Shows' but the problem remains.

I have renamed other collection to french also without problem (movies->films, Music video -> Concerts, etc).  Only the tv shows get not the right fanart.

How, just sending the last post and I see that now another tile has not the right background (and not the right image on the tile).

 

Strange....

Strange indeed!

The random images are generated by the MediaBrowser addon. I just checked the code and noticed that whenever an error occurs in that part it will fallback to the random global fanart.

So basically what I'm saying that there has been an error with finding the artwork for your collections.

 

Do you have any special characters in the name of those folders ? Like é or á or something ?

 

In order to help you out the best I need a debug logfile, because that will report what went wrong with loading the images.

For this to work you need to enable debug loggin for the MediaBrowser addon (not kodi itself).

After enabling debug log, restart kodi and let it run for about 10 minutes.

 

If you could please send me your kodi.log file after that ? Please post it to a service like pastebin or something not directly in the forum (it won't fit).

 

You can send me the log by PM or in the thread, no problem.

Hi,

 

Thanks for your help.  Here  is a link to the kodi.log https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cihqpw9ylsp1it/kodi.zip?dl=0

 

David

I'm seeing a few errors in your log related to special characters, I know there have been some improvements on that front in the latest betas of the addon.

Are you using the stable or the beta version of the MediaBrowser addon ? If on stable, could you try with the beta version to see if it's fixed ?

If not, I'l dig around some more tomorrow to see what I can find.

Hi,

 

The log was taken with the last beta version of the client -> 0.9.780.

 

David

Sorry for not reporting back to you yet, I'm still trying to reproduce the issue. How did you name your collections in the MB3 server ?

I'm thinking this is an issue with special characters like é or è but I don't have any movies or shows with that characters to really reproduce the issue.

 

Are the collection folders that are not working containing any special chars in the name of the folder or in the name of the movies/shows in it ?

Hi,

 

Once again sorry for the delay.

 

Yes, I have a lot of special characters because all my tv shows are in French :)

 

The collection is named "Séries", I can try to rename it to "Series" to see if something change.

I managed to reproduce your issue by simply renaming my tvshows collection to seriés so it has definitely something to do with special characters. I'll dig into the code to find a solution.

@TheDoudou I fixed the issue with the special characters in the addon. Please get the latest beta version of the addon (0.9.782) and let me know.

Please note that a restart of Kodi is needed after you've installed the update.
