Tv shows thumbs not working..

Furious Yellow · 2006-05-20, 14:44

Does anyone know how to get the thumbs for recorded shows to work?

I've tried to get thumbnail for my recorded show by putting the pics in MediaPortal\Thumbs\TV\Shows and naming them exactly as the show, but still nothing turns up (except the screengrab that MP does automaticly, which by the way I would rather do without, so if anyone know how to prevent MP from doing this..)

Is there a special format the thumbs have to be in or something?

Any help is appreciated - Thanks

Do you have the date format in the thumbnail name, like this: Myhtbusters200605122100.jpeg?

For me, my show thumbnails are named liked this: Mythbusters.jpeg
and it works. My thumbs are different sizes and types. I have jpegs and png.

No, just the name of the show.

Tried both .jpeg and .png, no luck

I've found that my 'show' thumbs are used for folders only (where there exists multiple shows), else for single recordings, for some reason, the channel logo is used (a bug?)

Actually, it would be nice to be able to provide a folder thumb and a single recording thumb as its useful to be able to distinguish between these visually.
