On which operating system? Can you post your launchers.xml file (using pastebin service) to see what is wrong with your setup?

This path could be used to display alternative fanart image. But the skin must support this feature for the XBMC Programs section... and I think that Cirrus Extended V2 is the only skin that actually may support it.
First of all, thank you for that great addon! As I couldn't get RCB working like I wanted, I tried your program and it works flawlessly
My only question currently is; is it possible to modify the XML files in such a way, that I can use 2 different pictures for the game description? e.g. here in the SNES section i have 1 cover, but the background picture is the same as the thumbnail picture. As I would like to use 1 screenshot for the thumbnail, and 1 fanart picture for the background, I was asking myself if there were some options for that?
I tried to get some information via the search option but I couldn't find anything in the 380 pages (unfortunately didn't know which kind of option I exactly should search for... ), so I hope you maybe can help me...
