Hi All,

I have a couple of questions and hope some of you can answer them for me.

(1)
I've searched the forum for this but couldn't find anything. I'm trying to re-size and re position the lyrics module. Now it's taking allot of space in the window and want it to be at the bottom with the height smaller and the width larger.

So far I've managed to to get the lyrics box to the bottom of the screen by editing these positions in the script-XBMC_Lyrics-main.xml file.

Code:

<coordinates>
        <posx>240</posx>
        <posy>210</posy>

The problem is I can't get the background to re-size when I edit these tags,

Code:

<texture border="30" width="830">panel.png</texture>
                <bordertexture border="45" width="830">panel-shadow.png</bordertexture>

As you can see I tried adding "width" with no success. I also tried removing those tags but then it is too transparent. What do I need to edit for this to work ?
To explain myself better see the image link below.

(2) // At the moment I'm deleting mymusic.db and re-scanning everything. If it has any results I'll post it here!

My second problem is about my fanart images.

In every artist folder I have a fanart.jpg and a extrafanart folder using the recommended folder structure.
Some of them are not displaying or it's loading an old image which I deleted. After several library updates and re-adding the source of my music still no change. I looked in the thumbnails folder to see if I could find the old image that was displaying, I could NOT.

See the debug log link bellow.

Any help is much appreciated!

1) don't add "width" to the texture tags, it's not valid code and will be ignored by xbmc anyway.
instead, adjust the <width> value of the image control

<control type="image">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>800</width>
<height>525</height>
<texture border="30">panel.png</texture>
<bordertexture border="45">panel-shadow.png</bordertexture>
<bordersize>22</bordersize>
</control>

2.1) if xbmc shows an old fanart image, it's using the cached version indeed.
it's hard to find those as xbmc uses a hashed filename.
the easiest/only way to get it to update is do it go to the artist in xbmc,
hit 'i' to bring up the artist info screen and press the refresh button.

2.2) if xbmc shows no fanart, again hit the refresh button as descibed in 2.1

2.3) if xbmc shows no extrafanart you have to make sure the foldername matches exactly with the artist name (as shown in xbmc).

2.last) you hve quite a few compilation album in your library.
don't expect extrafanart (or even fanart) to work with those.

Thank you for your info. It worked.
