Hello everyone!
So I recently (about 2 months) moved up from Frodo to Gotham with all the wonder and majesty of Aeon Warlion 4.1.9. on Windows 7. I had everything customized and set up how I like it. The problem I have encountered last night out of the blue is that all of a sudden the custom fanart I spent so much time assigning to my movie sets is now gone! Instead now the movie set fanart cycles through the fanart assigned to the movies within that specific set. I tried going to "Manage" in the context menu and I see that the fanart I had assigned is still there but it doesn't show up. I also went through all the settings I could find that customize view but no success. Any clue as what's going on? I tried a uninstalling and deleting all the XBMC folders under "Program Files (x86)" and "Roaming" then doing a clean install with all the mods applied. It worked for about 20 minutes but then reverted back.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
UPDATE: Solved! So under Edit Skin there is an option that says "Enable Backend". This will enable additional info for movie sets to be displayed and will cycle through the movie fanart within that set. However, if you want the movie set info BUT want your own static movie set fanart then follow what toineb did. Worked for me!

In the default python file for the extended info script, I deleted the two lines relating to fanart from this section
for item in json_query['result']['setdetails']['movies']:
art = item['art']
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.DBID' % count, str(item.get('movieid')))
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Title' % count, item['label'])
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Plot' % count, item['plot'])
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.PlotOutline' % count, item['plotoutline'])
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Path' % count, media_path(item['file']))
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Year' % count, str(item['year']))
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Duration' % count, str(item['runtime']/60))
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Art(clearlogo)' % count, art.get('clearlogo',''))
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Art(discart)' % count, art.get('discart',''))
self.window.setProperty('Set.Movie.%d.Art(poster)' % count, art.get('poster',''))
self.window.setProperty('Detail.Movie.%d.Art(poster)' % count, art.get('poster',''))
title_list += item['label'] + " (" + str(item['year']) + ")[CR]"
hey presto it now shows the info for the movieset but with my chosen fanart for the actual movieset rather than a loop of each movie in the set.
