I have all my banner.jpg's and folder.jpg's in the correct folders, I have tried clearing the database and re-adding the TV library twice, also after changing the TVDB scraper to 'Prefer posters'? Is there still a setting for it in the skin settings somewhere?
Maybe it's a problem with the OpenELEC nightly because they don't seem to show in the files view on Confluence either, very confused.
My TV files are all hosted on a local Synology NAS and are shared with XBMC via the SMB protocol.
This time I wiped my /userdata folder completely, set up XBMC as normal and again set up TheTVDB plugin to 'use poster' and rescraped my video library. I got the same results so I also tried it in Aeon Nox and the same thing happened there, no banner.jpg's. It also seems to have the same problem with other extra images like logo.png.
Can the skins not cache banner.jpg thumbnails from a NAS share? I have no problem reading or writing files through the file browser so it doesn't seem to be a permissions problem?

Great skin! I use it in Metro UI mode.
A few questions...
Using this skin seem to mess up the font (or font size) in a few addons. For example Spotimc and Navi-X. Is there a fix for that?
How do you edit/change the addon/program shortcuts on the different screens?
I also have the problem with posters on the home screen. Got them downloaded and everything. All media etc stored on network file server (SMB)...
Cheers!

Hi Black,
1. Currently there's only 4 categories available. Any chance this might be extendable?
2. When using movie sets: movie count seems to be ignoring those in its count: not sure whether it's skin-related or XBMC-issue.
Thx!

First, thank you very much for will wonderful skin and for the support added to Advanced Launcher. I have just tested it fully today and I have few improvement suggestions concerning Advanced Launcher. That's just suggestions, feel free to do what you want with them.
First concerning the square views, for Poster (square) and Wall (square) views, the covers appears truncated :
But for the Banner list (square) and the item view the same covers are displayed correctly :
Is it possible to fix the Poster (square) and Wall (square) views?
Also, to be fully supported Advanced Launcher need also some wide cover display (for Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games). Actually there is no suitable views for these games and so the covers also appears truncated :
Is it possible to add Poster (wide), Wall (wide) and Banner list (wide) programs views? I think the Poster (wide) must be created from zero. But, for the Wall (wide) and Banner list (wide) views they already exist for TV shows. Just have be ported to Program Add-ons.
Also if you have any suggestion to the improvement of Advanced Launcher to a better integration into your skin, do not hesitate to tell me.
Thank you again for your great work.

Thanks for the great skin!
The ongoing tv shows block on the home view, using metro, stays blank for me. What should I look into to get that part working? I've followed your steps from your first post about local posters, etc.

folder.jpg -> poster
banner.jpg -> banner
Then delete your video database and all thumbnails (from the userdata folder). Enable prefer posters in the tvdb settings (this is only necessary if you don't use local images but I would enable it anyway) and rescrape everything.

I have this structure in my folder ... delete and if I have examined all over again will I have to resolve or clear up what is inside the folder?
Thanks for the reply!
