I will give it a try but having followed the link I don't know what to do to download and apply the change to the code.
Can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks

If you take the files on the link (make sure it is the raw format) and overwrite the files in your $USER/XBMC/addons/script.videoextras folder.
Hopefully that should get you going!

the videoextras_overlay.png will not be taken for the media folder
just to inform you
I guess that would be the case. There is no way for a python script to extract a given file from a xbt file (I do not believe there is a python interface for this). It will need to be a stand-alone file. If this generation of the xbt file is automated, we may be able to fallback to a different location if you prefer.

Rob
is a easy fix just add it after compile the xbt on the media folder
OK, so no change for VideoExtras addon then?
Thanks, Rob

Now that I have got things working thanks to Rob's help there is still one thing that confuses me.
I can get the extras relating to a complete series to appear when I do the "info" button and click on extras. But it doesn't work by season.
If I have an extra that relates to a specific TV episode, should I expect that extra to be listed within the list of episodes for the TV show in the correct place?.
1x01 Episode title
1x02 Episode title
1x02 Video Extra
1x03 Episode title
What I did was create an nfo file with the same name as the extra and within the nfo file, I specified the season and episode number it related to.
Nothing appears in the list.
I'm using MQ5 and at the moment it seems to be the only skin that anything appears in. I haven't done any of the editing of the xml files as I as trying to use skins with everything built in.
Perhaps someone can steer me in the right direction.
I am sure I am doing something dumb but not sure where to start.
Thanks
Glenn

No, VideoExtras does not work like that - it will only load extras via the "Information" screen, and only if stored using the methods defined in the Wiki.

Thanks Rob that was what I thought but just in case I thought I had better check.
As I said before though; all is working fine and thanks for your help.

Hey Rob,
Saw the implementation of relative paths in NFO for TvTunes. This could be really great to have in VideoExtras so we can use the NFO support in a more confident way, meaning that if we need to move things around then we no longer have to go in and change all the paths to the nfo. Is relative paths planned or already working for VideoExtras?
Best,

Should already be supported for videoextras.nfo
r324 should add it to the fanart and thumbs

if so is it possible to add a small patch to the addon to not hang when a file is not available especially on nfs/smb shares ?
Not sure what the problem you are reporting is.
I don't recall anyone reporting any hanging issues, not seen any logs etc either
