Hi,
I have recently discovered the Alaska Revisited skin for my new Dharma installation of XBMC and have noticed that TV banners seem to be handled differently to the way they were in the past or with other skins. Is this to accommodate an upcoming change in the TVDB scraper that will automatically put a banner.jpg file into each show directory, or is this a personal/deliberate choice by the skin developer?
My past skins all seemed to use the inbuilt Thumbnails/.tbn files for the banners that are generated from TVDB scraper downloads, and because it just worked I'd never really thought about managing them any other way.
I had a look through the scraper settings and couldn't see anything that would allow it to automatically save the banner picture to banner.jpg in the series directory. Am I missing something?
If it cannot be set to use the internal banner storage system, and the scraper cannot save a banner.jpg file can someone recommend a third party bit of software that can automate this for me or am I stuck grabbing each one manually? I'll now go and hunt through the Supplemental Tools section to see what I can find.
Thanks,
Zesh
