Hi there,

I've got a minor problem but it's driving me nuts: TV Season Posters aren't now showing up for me and I can't figure out why.

I'm running XBMC Frodo v12.2 with Aeon Nox v4.0.9 on a Windows 8 64-bit system.

Here's my log data:

[edit] Your debug xbmc.log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=40377
[edit] Your XBMC crashlog: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=40378

When I click TV from the main screen, I can see the general poster artwork (which I assume is pulled from the poster.jpg file).
Note: Using Showcase view.



Selecting a TV show, shows the Season folders, but no season poster artwork shows up.
Note: Using Showcase view.



Similarly, when a season is selected, no season artwork is displayed. Instead it just shows the general poster artwork again.
Note: Using List view.



I've had very little trouble scraping and I'm pretty sure my file structure is setup as it should be:

TV Shows
|
---/TV Show 1/
|
---/extrafanart
---/Season 1/
---/Season 2/

I just can't figure out why I'm having this problem with the season posters. So far I've tried a couple things I read about other people doing with some success.

1. I exported my library and manually copied the Season Posters (seasonx.jpg) file over to the top level directory of a show (ex . ---/TV Show 1/ ). This didn't work.
2. I also tried renaming the poster artwork file a number of different ways: Season1.jpg, season01.jpg, Season1-Poster.jpg, season1-poster.jpg, season01-poster, etc. Nothing.
2. I also tried copying a number of other season-specific files over from what I found here http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add...Filenaming. Again, nothing.

I have no idea why I'm having this problem or how to fix it, but I love having a pristine library so I'd really appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Please let me know if you need any other information from me.

Thanks!

I apologize....don't think I included the correct log information before. Should be right/fixed now though.

Found a solution to my problem in an older forum post here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=153817

Figured I'd post the solution in case anyone else is having problems:

1. Open the Artwork Downloader script (from Add-ons).
2. Make sure "Season Posters" are selected to be downloaded.
3. Make sure "Use Local Files" is enabled.
4. Run it.

Rebooted XBMC and my problem was solved

Glad you found a solution, but you really shouldn't need to use Artwork Downloader for this when you have the artwork already stored locally - the native scrapers should find and use them (TMDB scraper certainly does).

I name my season artwork "season01-poster.jpg", "season02-poster.jpg" etc. with all season artwork in the root of each show. Episode thumbs (which would be inside each "Season X" folder) I name "Castle S01E01-thumb.jpg" etc.

So...

Code:

Castle
\-- Season 1
    \-- Castle S01E01.mkv
    \-- Castle S01E01-thumb.jpg
    \-- Castle S01E02.mkv
    \-- Castle S01E02-thumb.jpg
    ...
\-- Season 2
    \-- Castle S02E01.mkv
    \-- Castle S02E01-thumb.jpg
    ...
\-- season01-poster.jpg
\-- season02-poster.jpg
\-- season-all-poster.jpg
\-- season-specials-poster.jpg
\-- tvshow.nfo
