TV Show Thumbs for Multiplex (Wide Poster "FanArt with Logos") - parrots - 2009-04-27 As we're all just getting started with making these it might be nice to use this thread to let others known when you've added one for a show so we don't have to keep checking every show on thetvdb for updates. We're all jumping to get our libraries updated for this new view so having one thread to share updates should move things along quicker. The idea is to upload new thumbs to thetvdb.com as fanart, at normal fanart resolution. TheTVDB is going to implement the ability to flag these "fanarts with logos" sometime so we can integrate into XBMC. How To Use: Grab the image you want and save it as folder.jpg in the show's folder. Then, when you go into the TV show's info in XBMC and hit "thumb" to pick the thumbnail, the image will show up as local thumb at the bottom of the list. FernFerret's talks with thetvdb.com crew will open the way for XBMC to link in and display specific fanarts as remote thumbs, like it does banners and posters right now. It will require an update to thetvdb.com (which they're willing to do it seems), and an update to XBMC's code (which shouldn't be much), so for now the best way is to just add them as folder.jpg. Guidelines for making thumbs: 16:9 ratio (same as normal fanart), 720p or larger. Text/logo should be easy to read when in Multiplex view (remember scales down to ~300x200ish). Good examples: 1, 2, 3. Upload to http://thetvdb.com and share! Note keep the image under 500k, thetvdb will lie to you and not actually save your image if you don't. When uploading to thetvdb make sure you pick Series Name: Included from the dropdown.

What are you guys doing about season thumbs? My family guy collection had an awesome collection of standard thumbs, but I was thinking, since AEON auto lables the thumbs season X, maybe just taking the series thumb with a color hue? Also, I haven't looked yet, mainly because i'm lazy, but is there an easy scraper mod to add fanart to the thumb scraper list? --FF - parrots - 2009-04-27 Thumbs So Far (continued from above): Dark Angel Darkwing Duck Damages Deadliest Catch Deadliest Warrior Death Note Degrassi Dennou Coil Dexter Dexter (2) Dexter's Laboratory Dexter's Laboratory (2) Dexter's Laboratory (3) Dilbert Dirty Jobs Dirty Sexey Money Dirty Sexy Money (2) Dirty Sexy Money (3) Dinosaurs Dinosaurs (2) Disney's Aladdin Doctor Horrible's Sing-along Blog Doctor Who (2005) Dollhouse Dollhouse (2) Drawn Together Drawn Together (2) Drive Drive (2) Duckman Elfen Lied Entourage Entourage (2) Entourage (3) Entourage (4) Ergo Proxy Escaflowne Eureka Eureka (2) Evangelion Excel Saga ExoSquad Extras (UK) Extras (UK) (2) Family Guy Fate Stay Night Firefly Flashpoint FLCL Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Freaks And Geeks Freaks And Geeks (2) Frasier Friends Fringe Full Metal Panic FullMetal Alchemist Gantz Gargoyles Gavin & Stacey Gilmore Girls Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Grey's Anatomy Green Wing Gunslinger Girl Haibane Renmei Hannah Montana Harper's Island Hellsing Heroes Heroes (2) Heroes (3) Hogan's Heroes House Hyperdrive How I Met Your Mother How I Met Your Mother (2) How Not To Live Your Life Hustle Invader Zim In Plain Sight IQ-145 Jericho Jericho (2) Joey Journeyman Knight Rider Knight Rider (2008) Knight Rider (2008) (2) Kyle XY Last Exile Leverage Lie To Me Life Life (2) Life on Mars Long Way Round Lost List getting too long, continued in post #6... - ethan_9219 - 2009-04-27 Looking great so far!!! Just a question, though, these are the show thumbs now? I mean to say, are they now instead of posters/banners? This will be the new standard? If so, should i make them at 1280x720, or 1920x1080? - parrots - 2009-04-27 Thumbs So Far (continued from above): MacGyver Macross Plus Macross Zero Mad Men Medium Miami Vice Monk Monk (2) Monkey Dust Moonlight Mr. Bean My Name Is Earl My Name Is Earl (2) National Geographic Documentaries NCIS New Amsterdam Nip Tuck No Heroics Noir Oz Only Fools And Horses Pinky & The Brain Pirates of Dark Water Planet Earth BBC Prison Break Prison Break (2) Prison Break (3) Pushing Daisies Quantum Leap ReBoot Red Dwarf Red Dwarf (2) Red Dwarf (3) Red Dwarf (4) Red Dwarf (5) Red Dwarf (6) Rescue me Robotech Rome Ruddy Hell It's Harry And Paul Samantha Who Samantha Who (2) Sanctuary Sarah Connor Sarah Connor (2) Sarah Connor (3) Saturday Night Live Saturday Night Live (2) Schmidt & Pocher Scrubs Serial Experiments Lain Six Feet Under Six Feet Under (2) Skins Sliders Smallville Son of the Beach Spooks Stargate Atlantis Stargate SG-1 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Star Trek: Enterprise Star Trek: The Next Generation Star Trek: Voyager Star Wars: The Clone Wars Stromberg Super Mario World Supernatural Supernatural (2) Supernatural (3) Survivors (2008) Tales From The Crypt Teen Titans That's My Bush!

They should be easier because there's normally quite a few fanarts that are season specific. Just look at the ones for 24 for instance and you'll the characters from certain seasons in them. - FernFerret - 2009-04-27 Ah good call, i forgot fanart could be season specific. --FF - ccMatrix - 2009-04-27 I just updated to the latest release on git. The poster I use at the moment are basically just cut off at the top and bottom. So maybe the effort should be to create poster images which have the important information in the center instead of creating fanart with the name of the series in it. Fanart isn't displayed in the lower band anyway but posters are and they can be changed from within XBMC. - kulprit - 2009-04-27 Thanks for all the ones you have made guys, but on my screen they are slightly cut off at the left and right sides, noticable on the house one as it is cutting off the box around the H. Just cos i am using a 22" 16:10 screen rather than a 16:9 tv? - GinSoakedBoy - 2009-04-27 I'm getting the same problem with a 24" 16:10 monitor. - Montellese - 2009-04-27 That issue is known. All the images are cut off on a 16:10 monitor (which most new computer screens use) but it doesn't seem like it's easy to fix. |
