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?
The YAMJ default setting is to name the season artwork (poster, fanart, banner) the same as the first episode. However, EMM is not currently scraping season banners.
For 'all seasons', YAMJ has a poster and a banner.
The poster is saved into the Season 1 folder (by default) as Set_<show>_1.jpg, and this is also working as expected
But it can also be saved to the main <show> folder and still work.
The current YAMJ Module is saving the 'all seasons' banner as Season1.banner.jpg when it should be Set_<show>_1.banner.jpg
Again, I am using the default YAMJ settings. The problem we are running into is that YAMJ allows some customization to the folder structure and file naming. So people who have customized their YAMJ setups, what works for 1 person may not work the same for another.
Code:
Adding these options to the Module should allow for season banners and account for different folder structures:
Save season banner as <show SXXE01>.banner.jpg
Save season banner as Season XX.banner.jpg
Save 'all season' artwork to main <show> folder
Save 'all season' artwork to Season 1 folder
