Actually no skins support it, that's not really the goal of Advanced Launcher to collecting/display game stuff nd is it not really into the spirit of XBMC to dislay back covers for items. If you really need use/manage back covers under XBMC you can use RCB that support it.(2012-09-10, 18:07)Maleficium Wrote: Hi there,I could try to modify the GAMEFAQ scraper to allow to display front and back covers into the same result list. Do you want to use this covers as thumbs or fanarts?
I was trying to download the back covers of the games also but it become a difficult task to do manually for some amount of games. There's some way to tweak the GameFAQ scrapper to download the backs instead the front covers ?
Thanks for any help.
BTW, if you really need to scrap back covers with Advanced launcher you can manually modify the Gamefaq scraper python file : /xbmc/addons/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/resources/scrapers/thumbs/GameFAQs/thumbs_scraper.py and replace :
Code:
# Get Thumbnail scrapper
def _get_thumbnail(image_url):
images = []
try:
search_page = urllib.urlopen('http://www.gamefaqs.com' + image_url)
for line in search_page.readlines():
if 'Game Box Shot' in line:
images = re.findall('g"><a href="(.*?)"><img class="full_boxshot" src="(.*?)"', line)
print images[0][0]
return images[0][0]
except:
return ""

Code:
# Get Thumbnail scrapper
def _get_thumbnail(image_url):
images = []
try:
search_page = urllib.urlopen('http://www.gamefaqs.com' + image_url)
for line in search_page.readlines():
if 'Game Box Shot' in line:
images = re.findall('t" /><a href="(.*?)"><img class="full_boxshot" src="(.*?)"', line)
print images[0][0]
return images[0][0]
except:
return ""
Then into the thumb selection you will still see front covers, but it will be the back cover image that will be downloaded (there is now back cover thumb preview into GameFAQ website).
