I have been busy setting up my Vero 4K+ and everything is fine so far except for one thing. First impressions are that it’s very good, lovely little unit. I’ll do a writeup later when its all working perfectly with eGreat etc.
Anyways, I can’t get Titan extrafanart functionality to work (it should rotate the fanart). Am using exactly the same setting as my PC & RPi3.
EDIT : Ok, i take it back. I reinstalled OSMC/Kodi from scratch on the Vero, loaded a few movies via SMB and installed Titan. Still no extra fanart so looks specific to the Vero
Locally stored artwork (ie on the Vero) doesnt work either.
Have posted on Kodi Titan skin forum.
EDIT : Maybe its because Vero doesnt recognise or see the extra artwork subdirectory ? Just a thought.
Folder structure is:
Media
-------Movies
------------------ Avengers
----------------------------------extrafanart
Not much response here sadly but I honestly think its down to the Vero. Titan fanart functionality works on Wintel PC, RPi3, OpenElec with the same settings, source etc.
I will dig through the logs to see if anything pops out but @sam_nazarko any chance you could load up Titan skin to investigate please?
Steps are :
Use Artwork Downloader to populate the ‘extrafanart’ folder for some movies
Install Titan Skin
Skin Settings->Media Views->Enable Extra Fanart
This should rotate the artwork every x seconds.
Apologies for going on about this but its really niggling my appreciation of the Vero and making me reconsider going down a new fanless PC route
You could move the Kodi userdata folder entirely from the Pi to create an identical setup. If things then work, then something is different (add-on helper or skin version).
@sam_nazarko my fanart is on a NAS so same source. But I will play around given @pulham comments.
@pulham thank you for the info. Didn’t realise Marcel had stopped - I was in constant comms with him during the early years of Titan but dropped as have been v happy with the skin etc. I’ll dig through the forum again.
re Artwork Downloader - it’s still working (for me at least) but will try out Artwork Beef. Thanks for the tip.
So I have started using the Titan MOD skin and everything works!
My bad for fingering Vero. Apologies.
PS just an fyi, it is, of course, a heavy skin but perfectly fine on the Vero 4K+. A bit slower than my i5 of course but perfectly acceptable. Unlike RPi3 (RIP old friend).
I love the Titan skin, mainly because of the different view options. Im running it on my Vero 4K + but its slow as its a heavy skin. I just hope the guy who has taken over from Marcel will update it. The last time I looked he was mainy working on the Netflix view. Hopefully he will work on the Leia version when its released for the Vero.
When I tried Titan on my Vero 4k+ I get black screen during skin install and had to reset my Vero to factory defaults. Other skins works normal. What can it be?
