memetopal 2 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Fanart rotation is awesome 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? xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memetopal 2 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 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. xnappo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 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. xnappo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memetopal 2 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yep, modified what you said and single fanart loading is much faster. Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcelveldt 736 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnappo 1593 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Maybe we need to make a table of skin features or something. I am losing track! xnappo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im85288 1493 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 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.

xnappo 1593 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
