They're talking about eventually switching all the artwork to a standardized format and phasing out the old naming scheme. For example, seasonXX.tbn will no longer work for season thumbs, instead it will be seasonxx-poster.jpg. Thanks!
I try to make it frodo-style until the final Frodo release.
Here's a summary of what works for me with TV shows in Frodo using Confluence skin. This does not cover individual episode artwork but that works just fine as it is.
general:
arttype = poster | banner | fanart
XX = season number, zero padded if below 10.
TV Show artwork name format: <arttype>.{jpg,png}
Examples:
- poster.jpg
- banner.jpg
- fanart.jpg
Season artwork name format: seasonXX-<arttype>.{jpg,png}
Examples:
- season01-poster.jpg
- season42-banner.jpg
- season142-fanart.jpg
All seasons artwork name format: season-all-<arttype>.{jpg,png}
Examples:
- season-all-poster.jpg
- season-all-banner.jpg
- season-all-fanart.jpg
Special episodes artwork name format: season-specials-<arttype>.{jpg,png}
Examples:
- season-specials-poster.jpg
- season-specials-banner.jpg
- season-specials-fanart.jpg
Real example: I use one folder for each TV show named <Show> (<year>) and each season is in a subfolder named Season XX (Season X also works, but I prefer Season XX since it's closer to seasonXX-<arttype>).
Step 1. Arrange initial files and folders
Dexter (2006)/
Dexter (2006)/Season 01/
Dexter (2006)/Season 02/
Dexter (2006)/Season 03/
...
Step 2. Run EMM results in
Dexter (2006)/
Dexter (2006)/Season 01/
Dexter (2006)/Season 01/Season 01.jpg
Dexter (2006)/Season 02/
Dexter (2006)/Season 02/Season 02.jpg
Dexter (2006)/Season 03/
Dexter (2006)/Season 03/Season 03.jpg
...
Dexter (2006)/fanart.jpg
Dexter (2006)/folder.jpg
Dexter (2006)/poster.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season-all.jpg
Dexter (2006)/tvshow.nfo
Step 3. Rearrange for Frodo
a)
- Move Season XX/Season XX.jpg => seasonXX-poster.jpg
- Move Season XX/Season XX-fanart.jpg => seasonXX-fanart.jpg
- Move season-all.jpg => season-all-poster.jpg
b)
- Fetch* season-all-fanart.jpg from <EmberShowDir>/fanart/fanart/original
- Fetch* banner.jpg from <EmberShowDir>/seriesposters/graphical
- Fetch* season-all-banner.jpg from <EmberShowDir>/seriesposters/seasonswide
- Fetch* seasonXX-banner.jpg from <EmberShowDir>/seasonposters/seasonswide
* Fetch is usually a manual scan, copy and rename. <EmberShowDir> is <EmberDir>/Temp/Shows/<ShowID>/...
and the result is
Dexter (2006)/
Dexter (2006)/Season 01/
Dexter (2006)/Season 02/
Dexter (2006)/Season 03/
...
Dexter (2006)/banner.jpg
Dexter (2006)/fanart.jpg
Dexter (2006)/poster.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season-all-banner.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season-all-fanart.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season-all-poster.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season01-banner.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season01-fanart.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season01-poster.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season02-banner.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season02-fanart.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season02-poster.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season03-banner.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season03-fanart.jpg
Dexter (2006)/season03-poster.jpg
...
Optional:
Step 4. Add clearart.png and logo.png for Transparency! skin
Step 5. Add theme.mp3 for tvtunes
It would be extremely nice to have step 3 covered in EMM but I guess b) requires a lot more than a). If I can find the time, I may have a crack at this myself, but it's been years since I touched anything VB.
For movies, the artwork works without manual steps. Another thing I do is change data in movie and episode nfo files a bit, but I have to do more testing to see what is really needed/wanted. My current approach is quite crude. I swap a whole section with data generated from ThumbGen.
It would be great to have an option to copy-rename existing files and not to re scrape them.
I have a huge library and now that I have to change name from yamj to xbmc frodo I cannot duplicate all images, it would be a mess
