Hi,
The titles says it all really. Is it poss to display the season poster instead of the episode thumb for recent/random episodes?
I get no joy using 'Container.SeasonThumb'.
Thanks

Cheers Montellese, that's it. Will sit on that one then and sort later.
Thanks

@liquidskin76: Can we remove the season thumb from this? I don't see a reasonable argument as to why that's useful. Show thumb is fine.

Let me reply here instead of trac.
Problem is tvshow thumbs can be banners or posters (that's why we keep asking for allowing scrapping of both - see suggestions for frodo thread) and skinner does not know what user opted for.
That said I'm ok with removing if it will help you with developement somehow.

Thanks. I'll add to my TODO to kill them off. Hopefully for Frodo the banner/poster issue will be gone.

Playing catch-up on this one...
jmarshall... if possible, i'd like to retain seasonthumb. Media managers like Ember allow for separate show/season thumbs, plus theres the context option on seasons to set season thumb, so i feel the option to use one or the other would be great.
Welo's recent/random has the episode title and season/episode labels under the recent/random thumb. I was planning on having a skin option to show the season poster (instead of episodethumb, so recent/random for Movies and TV Shows looks the same) to tie in with the season/episode label. Kind of doesn't work as well if it's showing the showthumb.
Many thanks!

We're talking only about the season thumb displaying for an episode item in recently added. Again, this makes bugger all sense to me, plus it's yet another db query that we could otherwise avoid. If you have 3 new episodes, what's the point of showing the same season thumb over and over?
Cheers,
Jonathan

Let's assume that Posters AND Banners will be scraped in future, so the skinner can request the one they want.

I am trying to inplement this in Frodo, but I can never get the season or show thumb to appear. All season and show thumbs display perfectly inside the library. Is their a certain image that it is looking for? Any advice would be most appreciate. Below is my code for it, which I know works because it will show fanart and thumb.
<item id="1">
<onclick>-</onclick>
<icon>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestEpisode.1.ShowThumb)]</icon>
<label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestEpisode.1.EpisodeSeason),,x]$INFO[Window.Property(LatestEpisode.1.EpisodeNumber),, ]$INFO[Window.Property(LatestEpisode.1.EpisodeTitle)]</label>
<property name="Path">$INFO[Window.Property(LatestEpisode.1.Path)]</property>
<visible>!IsEmpty(Window.Property(LatestEpisode.1.Path))</visible>
<item>
