Summary
AWXi aims to replicate, as far as possible, the functions of the graphical user interface that comes with XBMC.
Views
AWXi supports a number of views for each type of media. Items marked with an asterisk (*) are available from the github repository with the view to being in the next stable release to the official repository.
Artists
Logos*
The logo view uses logos available from fanart.tv which can be automatically downloaded using cdART addon. When using this view you must specify the root location of your music logos with each artist having a directory of the same name as in your library, inside there should be a file called "logo.png". The expected size of each logo is 400x155 pixels. See fanart.tv for details.
Clicking on the artist's logo will take you to a list of their albums.
