What happens when special Seasons (Archer S01E01.avi) are available?
Should the TV show posters then in the folder Special Seasons or still in the Season 01 folder?
1/ YAMJ Specials should be "Season 0"-episodes, not 'Special Season'-episodes.
So Special episode 3 of some show could be named S00E03.avi, and could be in a subfolder <Season 0> of folder <tvshow>.
2/ As for the question of the location of tvshow artwork and nfo prefer placing it in the <tvshow> folder.
Working with latest version of YAMJ I name it
\<TVSHOW>\ (tvshow-folder)
----<tvshow>.nfo
----Set_<tvshow>_1.jpg
----Set_<tvshow>_1.fanart.jpg
----Set_<tvshow>_1.banner.jpg
----\Season 0\ (Season folder)
--------Season 0.jpg
--------Season 0.fanart.jpg
--------Season 0.banner.jpg
--------<tvshow>.S00E01.avi
--------<tvshow>.S00E01.nfo
----\Season 1\ (Season folder)
------- ...repeat structure....
As of a couple of years ago you can place the Set_* images anywhere in the <tvshow> folder or <Season X> folders.
If you have <Set_>*-images YAMJ picks them up.
If you don't have specific <Set_>* images, YAMJ uses the poster of the lowest episode in the lowest season.
Advantage of my structure, as I see it, is that when you download previous episodes your fanart stays intact (it's in the <tvshow>-folder).
Furthermore if you delete (e.g. backup or not enough empty hard disk space) some (first) season, you delete the fanart too.
This answer is very helpful!
I repeat:
<tvshow> is the main folder name
tv show posters / fanart / banner are in the main folder, and they are called:
Set_<tvshow>_1.jpg (poster)
Set_<tvshow>_1.fanart.jpg (fanart)
Set_<tvshow>_1.banner.jpg (banner)
Season folders are called <Season X> not <SeasonX> and not <SeasonXX>
Season posters / fanart / banner are in the Season folder and they are called:
<Season X>.jpg
<Season X>.fanart.jpg
<Season X>.banner.jpg
It is not necessary to name the season posters / fanart / banner same as the first episode of season?
Are there any "all seasons posters" in YAMJ?
