Hi, I just discovered Aeon and installed it with the backdrops from aeonproject.com. It looks great, but after hours of searching through xbmc forums, Google and the Aeon readme, I can't for the life of me see if there's a way to have one backdrop for every TV show folder I have.
What I'm trying to do is have the backdrop change to a relevant picture of the TV show folder I'm looking at. So if I move to the Battlestar Galactica folder, then a Galactica fanart/backdrop would appear in the background. I see that you can have individual fanart for single movie files, but what about TV show folders? Is it even possible, or am I misunderstanding Aeon's capabilities?
In the readme for Aeon it says something about scanning thetvdb for TV show fanart, but you have to be in Library mode. But when I try Library mode it says "No scanned information..." Is this the root of the problem? I've only ever used Library mode for music, which is easy, I just tell my Xbox to scan the iTunes library on my iMac. But I can only find the option "Manually Scan to Library" in Video mode. If scanning to the Library is the solution, isn't there a way to just scan my entire folder of videos, rather than manually scanning every file individually![Huh Huh](https://forum.kodi.tv/images/smilies/question.png)
Thanks for your time!![Big Grin Big Grin](https://forum.kodi.tv/images/smilies/grin.png)
PS Fanart has to be stored locally. Does that mean actually on my Xbox, or will my Mac (which is where I get most of my media from) do?
