folder.jpg is used for the file view
the tbn is used for the library icon
the fanart is used for the library backdrop
so you could use wide icons for file view
poster icon for library view
and the fanart for the library backdrop
It would be really cool to be able to use different icons based on the view type, that would be a great feature request. .. must .. focus.. must .. not.. get .. sidetracked.. again.. (but i'll look anyway)
Sorry to keep distracting you, you're doing great work!
In an ideal world for each movie I would like to store 4 images in each movie folder:
poster
wideicon
box
fanart
These could be stored as:
movietitle-poster.jpg
movietitle-wideicon.jpg
movietitle-box.jpg
movietitle-fanart.jpg
With the current version of XBMC only supporting fanart plus 2 other images (ie movietitle.tbn and folder.jpg, which could be different but are currently the same in MIP) then MIP could allow the user to select 4 images (as above) and then chose which 2 image types to duplicate in movietitle.tbn and folder.jpg.
If XBMC was ever expanded to allow the use of all 4 images types (a very good idea in my personal opinion) then each MIP user would already have all of their collection organised and it would be very easy to create a button on MIP that renamed/duplicated/deleted such that the entire collection conformed to the new standard and no image files were duplicated unnecessarily.
I'm not sure how the tv episode images work, I'm looking forward to having a play with that soon! :-)
Does anyone know where I can find details of the folder structure and naming standards that I would need to use to process my tv shows? I'd quite like to get started on that in preparation for when Fekker adds the tv function shortly.
I'm guessing that it would be something like this:
\Tv Shows\Heroes
\Tv Shows\Heroes\Season 1
\Tv Shows\Heroes\Season 1\Heroes S01E01xxxxxxx.avi
\Tv Shows\Heroes\Season 1\Heroes S01E02xxxxxxx.avi
where xxxxxxxx is random text including possibly source type, ripper etc.
Would other variations of the season and episode number format also work? Presumable it wouldn't matter whether things were in the correct case?
Is there an image library somewhere that has screen shots from each episode of popular tv series of recent years?
