[TV] Mini Cover in the EPG List (1 Viewer)

[xetic]

Hi,

is it possible to take a mini Cover to the EPG titel?
Like Simpson Cover to the Simpson Series...

I little pic what i mean...sry it is quick & dirty
Mini-Cover or a Banner to the timeline in EPG

I think fullscreen fanart should be better

 

[xetic]

Or fullscreen... it is nice,too

Have thought about extended tvseries lookup for EPG but for now it is far beyond my coding abilities

 

[xetic]

Yes it is very difficult for a new coder/designer... but it is possible

It can handle as MovingPicture with a Importer and in the future maybe automatically

Many problems here.
First, I thought about two ways of implementation:
1) extending tvserver database with series info, fanart, covers but in this case you're doing work twice as as mp-tvseries doing the same
2) storing only minimal info in tvserver database to have ability to look at mptvseries database and take all you need but in this case you can't use multi-seat setup.
Same for movies and Moving Pictures.
I prefer second option for now and doing some research in this way

As a plugin with a own database... it works!

EDIT:
2 samples für EPG Now and EPG Overview

I think this would be a great feature, I switched from Windows Media Center and miss the movie thumbnails in the epg.
