So far XBMC has managed to provide me with folder and season images for all my tv shows. However now that I have added "White collar" this appears to be the only tv show without folder art in the thumbnail view.
I found this site:
http://www.xbmcstuff.com/?x=1&id=427 But they do not seem to have the wide icon format used by my (default) xbmc skin.
Any suggestions how to fix the folder art?

try
http://fanart.tv
That's the 'replacement' site for xbmcstuff.
or try
http://www.thetvdb.com
When you are using XBMC Eden11.0 you can also install Artwork Downloader for automatic download.
Thanks.
I see TheTVDB has the banners however I use the same site as scraper (!).
Can I somehow help xbmc recognize the show better?

This is the nfo:
Code:
<tvshow xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<title>White Collar</title>
<rating>8.8</rating>
<plot>White Collar is about the unlikely partnership of a con artist and an FBI agent who have been playing cat and mouse for years. Neal Caffrey, a charming criminal mastermind, is finally caught by his nemesis, FBI Agent Peter Burke. When Neal escapes from a maximum-security prison to find his lost love, Peter nabs him once again. Rather than returning to jail, Neal suggests an alternative plan: He'll provide his criminal expertise to assist the Feds in catching other elusive criminals. Initially wary, Peter quickly finds that Neal provides insight and intuition that can't be found on the right side of the law.</plot>

The URL points to a zip which has banner.xml, so what is wrong here?
Update I downloaded a banner from thetvdb and named it according to this page:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Thumbnails
So I renamed it to folder.jpg and fanart.jpg.
Unfortunately the show still shows as a blue directory in my wide view:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26141476/xbmc%20...collar.png .
I think the problem may have been caused by a file called folder.jpg that was put there by my organizer software. This picture had a 4:3 ratio. However I have deleted the picture and removed the show from my library. Issue persists.
I would like to let you guys know that I fixed it
First I tried to sort through the thumbnail cache by creating a .bat file to rename al .tbn to .png so I could view and try to find the incorrect picture.
This did not work
.
Then I discovered the get thumb button (@tv show information) and I spammed that a few times untill finally the isue was resolved.
Thanks!
I use the logodownloader or I think it's now rolled into the artwork downloader.
