What are the paths and things I should use for this to work? You mean that the correct season fanart shows as you select seasons in SeasonWrap view? If you could just post the code here it would save me some time
Forwarning: I really just stumble along when I start editing code. I'm sure there are proper ways to do this, but here's what I did and it works. Though, like I said, breaks extrafanart (since I don't use it and use season fanart instead). But, yes. As you change seasons the fanart changes to the fanart.jpg in the Season directory.
\Simpsons\Season 1\fanart.jpg
\Simpsons\Season 2\fanart.jpg
etc

I commented out the "Fanart_Image" line

It for the most part works, tho it does seem to affect the background fanart of movie sets. Also, the season fanart only changes in Seasonwrap view in the fanart box it has above the posters. The main full screen background remains until you go into Episode level, then it switches. Haven't quite been able to wrap my head around it.
If you want examples of skins that do this very well, there is Aeon-NOX, Night, The Carmichael and T! off the top of my head. The fanart changes as you flip through your seasons. With fanart that represents the corresponding season (change in characters for example) it, to me, is used to great effect when navigating a show.
Hope I was clear in all that
