Hi,
I'm just after a bit of advice if anyone can clear up the confusion I seem to be having.
I don't use any media managers, and for at the moment I am only concerned with TV Shows.
I am aware that both fanart.tv and tvdb are used to source the artwork for TV shows, but is there an order of preference in which is used, both feature art in some categories, so how does xbmc decide which one to use.
Example:
I had a show which didn't have any Season Thumbs (landscape 16.9), so I created one and added it to fanart.tv, then when I 'Get Artwork' the new thumb shows up, great
I then decided I wanted a different Thumb on a different show (this show already had a Thumb showing), I did the same again, created a Thumb, uploaded it to fanart.tv (got it approved), but then could find no way to change the current Thumb to my new one, it wasn't showing up in the selections under 'Change thumb', I discovered that theses were the tvdb ones only.
So, is there a guide/explaination of how the artwork is sourced, so I can change my Series Thumb to the one I want, without having to put it in the folder manually?
Thanks in advance.
Steve
