Please let me know if you get sick of me, but I've been playing with this a lot trying to get my HTPC ready for use by the wife and family). I'm an engineer with some technical writing and graphic design background, so little things like this stand out to me.
Movie views
1) In carousel view, the up one level 'poster' is blank (no file icon).
2) This is a preference rather than bug. Is it possible for the views that use fanart (Poster popup, Fanart slide, Fanart List, Carousel List), is it possible to put another default fanart in for the 'up one level' selection, rather than the 'no thumb available'.
TV Show - Show views:
3) Same comment on the fanarts as above (note the episode slide view does have this).
4) Similar comment in 'logo' views. Could a folder logo be used rather than 'no logo available.'
5) In Fanart Slide, the 'up one level' poster is blank (no file icon)... actually just went through and all views that use posters have a blank 'up one level' poster.
TV Show - Season views:
7) Season list view, 'one level up' poster is blank
TV Show - Episode Views:
8) If I go to episode view from 'all seasons' or if I am using the 'flatten single season' options, no posters show up.
9) Episode list view, the 'one level up' poster is blank.
Now the question. It appears that whether or not I have the 'use posters instead of banners' option checked, the views will use the file named 'folder.jpg'. Checking the option turns off banner views, and maybe governs what the internal scrapers grab. Is this correct.
If I use the "Enable 'poster.jpg' Support" option, then the files named 'poster.jpg' is used in the tv show poster views.
So it appears to have the maximum compatibility/views I need a files named folder.jpg in each TV folder which is the banner, and a file named 'poster.jpg' that is the poster. This can be kind of confusing, so would it be possible to add an "Enable 'banner.jpg' support" option so views that use banners would default to this file? This would ensure the maximum compatibility with the logo downloader script.
I think I'd better stop now before you decide to ban me from the list. Again, thank you for all the hard work, I really love the skin.
