Cover instead of fanart? - asselnik - 2019-06-20

Hi,
what must i edit in the ViewsVideoLibrary.xml to see the cover instead of the fanart in the video list?

RE: Cover instead of fanart? - Hitcher - 2019-06-20

The list view already shows the cover.

Yes i know, but i need it in the view "media info".

Sorry i forgot to wrote that.

For Movies you need to change https://github.com/xbmc/skin.confluence/blob/master/720p/ViewsVideoLibrary.xml#L1382

from 
xml:
<texture background="true" fallback="Fanart_Fallback_Small.jpg">$INFO[ListItem.Art(fanart)]</texture>
to 
xml:
<texture background="true" fallback="Fanart_Fallback_Small.jpg">$INFO[ListItem.Art(poster)]</texture>

However that image control is set to scale (which for a cover would zoom in so width of cover fits exactly thus chopping to & bottom off) so in order to display the full cover you also need to change https://github.com/xbmc/skin.confluence/blob/master/720p/ViewsVideoLibrary.xml#L1380

from 
xml:
<aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>
to 
xml:
<aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

That would do just movies, for tv shows and ordinary videos you would also need to change
