Hi Guys,
I am in the middle of creating a xbmc test system on my desktop to see how much I really like it before I go and purchase hardware to make a standalone install.
I have encountered this problem when I go to the info of shows or when I select certain views for the TV Shows.
How do I fix this?
You set the scraper to scrape posters rather than wide icons.
You are scraping banner.jpg's and you are trying to display them as posters.
Find suitable sized images on thetvdb.com and save them in your tv show directories as folder.jpg.
Shouldn't the scraper default to posters seeing as these days less skins use banners?
Ok, I have downloaded about half the folder.jpg pictures for my library and decided to test to make sure I was on the right track, here are the results.
which is a no go, here is the folder with all the files in it and the folder.jpg open so you can see
Do I need to turn anything off in the scraper options so that xbmc pulls the pictures from the folders rather than the internet or is there something else I need to do?
EDIT: sorry Hitcher I completely missed your post, here are the settings for the scraper, It doesn't have a check box for the banner
EDIT # 2: I have checked the confluence skin general settings and the option "use "posters" instead of "banners" for TV shows" is ticked
If you already have scraped the TV show it won't automatically pick up the new folder.jpg image in the directory. You'll either need to manually add it (using information and then use local image under fanart or thumb) or delete the existing database a rescraping from the beginning. You can limit the time taken for a complete rescrape by exporting your library to individual files, which will create an .nfo and local thumb etc for each video. If you do this make sure you don't overwrite the new folder.jpg files you have downloaded.
If your library isn't too lage I'd just update it manually.
will do that now, thanks rocketpants
