cw-kid 192 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I've only just noticed this, none of my music albums are showing fanart background images. I've checked on two Kodi machines connected to Emby with the add-on. Machine #1: Windows 7 Kodi v15 Emby add-on v1.1.16 Xperience1080 skin v4.1 (for Isengard) No fanart image displayed for albums: Machine #2 Apple iMAC OSX Yosemite v10.10.3 Kodi v14.2 Emby add-on v1.1.16 Xperience1080 skin v3.50.05 (for Helix) No fanart image displayed for albums: However on Machine #3 OpenElec v5.0.8 (Linux) Kodi v14.2 Xperience1080 skin v3.50.05 (for Helix) Connected to MYSQL I do have fanart images for albums showing fine as you can see. At first I thought it was something to do with the Xperience1080 skin, but as its working on the main HTPC and not on the two Kodi / Emby PCs maybe its something with the Emby integration? In fact if I switch all 3 machines to the default Confluence skin, only the OpenElec HTPC connected to MYSQL shows album fanart images. The other two Kodi PCs connected to Emby still do not show them, so its not skin related in my opinion. OpenElec HTPC connected to MYSQL with Confluence Skin Windows 7 connected to Emby with Confluence Skin No fanart image displayed for albums: iMAC connected to Emby with Confluence Skin No fanart image displayed for albums: I have not ran the "Cache all images to Kodi texture cache" on the mac but I did run that earlier on the Win7 PC. Also I am not aware of any Kodi setting that affects the fanart images for albums. But worth noting --- on the two Kodi PCs connected to Emby, the music artists are showing background fanart images fine, as you can see on this screen shot from the Windows 7 PC, so why not for albums? I'm not sure. Sorry for all the screen shots I wanted to be thorough. Please add this to the snag list to be looked at. Many thanks.
