[Sharpe]

...shortcut 1 is anime, shortcut 2 is tv shows, the plan was that shortcut 1 uses List view, shortcut 2 uses Fanart.. after i set up the view in shortcut 1 it is automatically applied to shortcut 2..

so both shortcuts use the same view, meaning it is not defined per shortcut rather defined per content type right?

any way arround that?...

I see - no you're right XBMC sees both as TV shows and picks it's cue from there. it doesn't define it's view type via the shortcut.

The only options I can see would be to either:

1) Scrape your anime movies as content type "movies"

2) Go into Back Row's skin options and select use posters instead of banners for tv shows. Then go through your TV shows scraping a poster thumb instead of a banner type thumb.

3) Or manually change your anime shows poster thumbs to banners.
