If I go and start replacing art, I think Im going to replace it in the folder with the movie and let PTVL load it and cache it. Then I know where the art is and not worry about backing up the cache if I need to reinstall xbmc or something.

Probably this weekend I think Im going to try to use a family block program (like one that you can block sites with....used mostly by parents for their kids)...and block fanart.tv and run the artwork downloader.....maybe after it fails to get stuff from fanart.tv it will get it from themoviedb

Thanks to you also. Made understand that feature that I was asking was already here. My reading comprehension has done tricks on me, but it was stated in post1 and now no need to change images in cache as it anyway will empty someday and might interfere with something as Lunatixz mentioned above.

It states at post1 that default skin uses "landscape" image (aka Thumb 16:9 from XBMC Naming conventions). My scarper software hasnt scraped those images cause thetvdb or themoviedb doesn't provide such images. landscape image is thumbnail sized fanart in short terms. And only place that has those are fanart.tv.
So get the right images that you want to be shown in the, default skin, EPG; just place 16:9 (500x281px preferably) picture named "landscape.jpg" to the your movies folder or root of the tv-show.

Still no aswer why artwork downloader picks always the wrong language ones.

Any tips? Thanks

Here is my log, there are some errors http://pastebin.com/ZGUVfKQ6

I'm having the exact same problem. Fresh install of XBMC 13.1, all dependencies installed etc. PTVL loads up and asks to autotune but after that it just hangs on the loading screen.

Log here http://pastebin.com/aC3GPY0N

Any ideas?

Im using the skin "Titian" on here, I really really really like it, with a couple of tweaks: I removed the blue boxes around the art...and then on the tv overlay I changed that to display "clearart" and on the EPG window I changed the art on the right to "Logo". I think both of those artwork locations were landscape to begin with, but a lot of my landscape images were either really boring looking or in the wrong language. Im really trying to mess around with this stuff in my free time. Maybe someday I can contribute....probably not though, lol. On that skin, there is poster artwork on the left in the EPG window, thats where I want the artwork from themoviedb, not fanart.tv. If I cant get it working, I might do it 1 by 1. It will take a while to get it done the first time, but as I add movies, I actually visit the site and cut and paste the name of the movie, just so I have it exactly....so it wouldnt be hard to grab the artwork while Im there

But if you want to get images for your movies and save them with the movie you dont have to do that manually. There is a selection 3rd party software to do that for you. For example ember media manager. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=191781
It's not totally automatic, but beats doing it one by one from the site. (I'm currently downloading one-by-one all those landscape thumbs from fanart.tv. )

Or just download the "artwork downloader script" for xbmc and set to use and save "local".

Landscape is used because that's what I want the skin to use...

You can always create a new skin or modify my skin to your needs.

Is this apply to "Removing File Locks" when I close PSTV? Mine seems to take a long time to exit. Or maybe I can do something here also?

just change landscape to poster and if the artwork download script is set to use the local, it will display the local poster?

No file locks are a necessary part, most likely locking up from something else anyway....
