Yea no biggie, the main one in settings is probably most important. One in VideoInfo thats able do change the cached image also would be cool though...

@Oddsodz

All that seems easy, what do you use for your "main" thumb...Posters?

One thing I noticed too was I needed to restart XBMC after I made the change in the skin file, it may be cached somewhere. I have noticed it caches a lot of information.

Not sure if we should keep going on about this in this thread...
BUT i have changed mine again to 1.0.3 and now the updates have gone however If the update number isnt changed
then surly this wont update itself in the future ?

It should be the normal scrapped Poster/Banner. If you know what I mean.

I Was also thinking that the Landscape.jpg does not need to be so big. And could be scaled down to give the background fanart some room to breath.

you actually tell the scrapper which specific one you want

if you don't change the defaults .. then thetvdb scrapper pulls the banner .. if you check the "Prefer Posters" box in the scrapper settings .. then it pulls the poster

not sure about the specifics from the pic (ie, what the exact rules are for "HD Movies") but this works for me

first .. create a HD playlist (go to playlists, create a smart playlists .. my playlist has 2 rules .. pathname contains 1080p or pathname contains 720p)

next go to settings -> skin -> custom home .. add custom items to menu -> custom playlist 1 .. select your playlist from previous part and bingo Smile

ps .. i do this, but instead of putting it in my home menu, i pop it into the Movie submenu which is configured in the same settings page

I Mean I know by default it will pull "banners". And I will know that I will have to set it to pull "posters". I Knew that when I made the request. Would look very silly having banner art in the poster position in my View mock up. lol


- pletopia - 2010-08-03

gotcha

How to setup a playlist

Instead of the video where I type "720", type in "700" or some number below "720"

If you are using Redd's Poster view mod then dont update to the latest github build. for what ever reason it causes the 2 views to overlap


- zwat - 2010-08-04

try change some view settings. press down till u get the view options menu and play around. not sure if i have tested on the latest git version.
