80% of the PPV & Seasons & Specials need fanart
All PPV seasons need some kind of poster as you can see from the second screenshot they have default XBMC folder images

Should be able to search for the PPV moviesets on tmdb and use the custom artwork I'll be putting up there for your season thumb Wink Only a few up ATM but I'll be adding more soon.

Maybe once all that is done I'll add some of the documentaries and such. Not real interested in individual shows like raw or smackdown.... but maybe one of those "best of RAW' collections would be nice.

I'll be working on adding the Documentaries to tmdb and finishing the ones that have already been added. So they'll only be a scan away for you Wink

I use Ace at the minute so custom fanart is out of the question for now, but if this is implemented my spare time will be very busy ;-)

I'm sure Ace will add custom fanart at some point, hopefully then you can use some of the new art available. For the newer PPVs I've found iTunes is a good place to look for a synopsis. I've had to write some of them myself and I've found that just having a list of matches doesn't really cut it, but adding a bit of backstory makes a world of difference.

I'm glad you're all getting some use out of the TV Show method. Whichever one you choose to use, there's no reason why our WWE collections can't look as good as the rest of our media anymore. It's just a shame that tvdb won't allow wrestling a permanent spot as it makes it more difficult to share all the info for these shows without a lot of aggravation.

The plan is to use movies for the PPVs and documentaries, and TV Shows for the Raw, SmackDown, ECW and WCW weeklies. I've got a few ideas that should give the completed setup a wow factor whilst remaining easy to use. I always use Nox so that will be what my new guide will be based on, but I'm sure it can be tweaked for most skins.

I'll get a few completed PPV years/sets in the bag, put it together so you can see it in action, then add in the rest. I've decided to open a separate thread over at Nox as its what my setup is designed to work on. I'll keep this one going as normal so fear not my friends Big Grin
