I mentioned this before but wanted to bring it up again. Perviously in the MQ4 build you have an option under TVShows "Perfer Poster,jpg" or similar which is no longer there.
Can we please have some clarification or have the option put back please?
The reasons are;
1. All external scrapers Ember, Media Companion scrape the posters as "season01.tbn" etc...
2. Artwork Downloader scrapes them as "season1-poster.jpg" etc...
By default MQ4 seems to pick up option 1; "season01.tbn" So how do you switch to the artwork downloaded by artwork downloader?
Thanks.
I think you are making some confusion, the option to show poster.jpg still there, in the same location, TOP MENU / ART.
Also the only accepted name for this event is poster.jpg, is use something different the skin will not recognize the image. It was ever thus, since MQ 3.
The option prefer poster instead of miniature was used in MQ 3, only in full screen, OSD, something that is no longer used in MQ 4. Anyway it was something quite different from what you want.
Hi Marcos,
OK, my bad, I should have been more specific, I am referring to the Season Poster views and not the TVShow Views, sorry!
By using the "Use Poster.jpg" switch in TVShow view it changes the cover between folder.jpg and Poster.jpg which is great but it would be nice to also have this under the Season views.
Can the "Show Poster.jpg" option be added to the season views please?
Beg to differ with your second point as all my Season views pick up "season??.tbn" and not "season?-poster.tbn" (Hence the request to add "Show Poster.jpg" under Seasoon Views. I have both in the folder as one is from Media Companion/Ember and the other from Artwork Downloader and very often they are different.
I think the differences stem from the fact that you may be talking about a structure where each season is in a seperate folder whereas mine are all in one folder and am sure many other people also have it this way. I just feel the skin should be able to handle both structures.
So... in TVShow view, if I enable "Show Poster.jpg" it uses the poster.jpg in the TVShow folder. If I disable the option it uses folder.jpg. In Season View it always shows the season??.jpg image, there is no way I can select the season?-poster.jpg image.
This is not a mojor issue just a nice to have really as there is obviously a disconnect between the naming standard between the external scrapers and the way Artwork Downloader scrapes the posters when all the series are in one folder.
