Dynamic artwork means that while you scroll through the EPG the infocus (highlighted) media's artwork is displayed and changes. Instead of just displaying the artwork for what is playing.
So Yes it needs to be enabled to work, but if you don't have the artwork stored locally it won't display, you need to run artwork downloader script.
for LiveTV you don't need the artwork stored locally, but you need to enable api's inorder to parse and store show data.
Thanks Luna.
Yeah, I understand what you are staying and the concept of having dynamic artwork enabled.
I know it might have sounded a bit of a weird and dumb-ass question to ask, but there was a reason for asking. Well, 2 reasons actually.
1) I'm not getting any posters/logos showing up for local movie files, but I am getting posters for my local TV shows, but not the logo. I do have all the necessary artwork stored locally for both Movies and TV shows.
2) When I enable API key for TMDB, PTVL is successfully parsing/updating all channels and opening with no problem. Artwork is also shown, but after 30 seconds or so, I'm getting a screen freeze and unable to move anywhere within the guide. Also, I've noticed that while I'm getting movie posters, I don't seem to be getting them for all. I've never seen this happen before, so it's quite un-usual. The only way I can exit is to close XBMC down completely via CTRL/ALT/DEL option.
So I have 2 different probs, so guess you would want 2 different logs?

Also, updated to latest build today. Been really scratching my head about this one, but if I scratch it anymore, then for sure I wont have any hair left!
