Where can I get more TV Show banners?
#1
hi all,

I've been using my Android tablet with the Android XBMC remote control app lately to browse my media, then click "play episode", and I love the banners view on the tablet.

My question is - where can I get more? I am missing some for some TV shows, e.g. 24, the US office. I have no idea where XBMC pulls these from but wondered if there is somewhere I need to add a repository for to get more or something?

Otherwise if there are none for the Shows that I am missing them, I'm tempted to make my own Big Grin

wow great, thanks. My tablet will look amazing scrolling up and down the TV shows with every one of them having a banner! I also may try the banner view on the XBMC interface itsself if I can get them all populated, looks terrible when you're missing banners imo.

Is there a fancy way of integrating fanart.tv as a source for banners for XBMC to point to? or is it a manual case?

Can anyone help me with where to store banner files please? I downloaded a banner for the US Office for example, and stored it as banner.jpg in the folder where the folder.jpg and fanart.jpg is, but no joy. I read the thumbnail cache article too
