[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1134600, member: 17886"] While we are at it: what you explain about fallback source, Matthias, sounds to me like a 'wait cursor source'. Wouldn't it make sense to have three possible image sources then: 1. Wait Cursor - displayed immediately from a static file in the skin (something not very prominent as in grid view there may be 20 or so wait cursors visible at the same time) 2. In the mean time we try to fetch the 'intended image source' 3. As soon as it is clear that 2. is not available, we show the fallback source. IMHO this should also be a static file in the skin to make sure we have an image in any case no matter what. Different 'priorities' of 'real' images should be decided by the server during 2. It just came to my mind because (at least for now) 2. still may take a while in certain circumstances (such as when caches are generated). That way we (and the user) can actually see when it is clear that there is definitely no fanart available. Does that make sense? [/QUOTE]
