[QUOTE="emphatic, post: 367457, member: 24365"] If I may suggest something... When you have episodes that don't have an episode image to download from thetvdb it would be nice to have a placeholder image that's actually represent the current series. I'm thinking fan art background or something (as this wouldn't interfere with thetvdb's current system)? Most skins use a 16:9 sized episode image, so fitting fanart into it would be a snap. If you could add a "set this as episode background" button along with "download and use" and "use random backgrounds" for the [B]tvseries.fanart[/B].xml, that selected fan art would then appear instead of a blank folder or whatever the skinners use now for missing episode imagery. Prettier, yes? Edit: [IMG]http://www.pici.se/pictures/iJsxsAfNy.jpg[/IMG] As you can see this is a rather poor mockup (reflection isn't from the fanart pic) but you get the general idea? Also, is it just me, or do everyone have to restart MediaPortal in order for newly selected fan art to appear? :thx: Emph [/QUOTE]
