Can you attach your API Cache directory for that series (you should see two folders (en and ru).

I'm going to make a change to the two artwork properties:
#TVSeries.Artwork.Rating
#TVSeries.Artwork.RatingCount

After reading this Artwork Ratings broken again! (Rating == RatingCount) - TheTVDB.com, the old way of ratings is no longer and is a favourite system...I think it's similar to user likes.

I will update those properties to #TVSeries.Artwork.Likes or #TVSeries.Artwork.Favourited

You can see for yourself that the API returns no results for Fanart in Russian or English:

Russian has no fanart, only widebanners and posters:

And English has nothing:

Maybe the API is slow to refresh to show you the latest fanart.

Granted I would sometimes spend 3-hours tweaking how it looks and then realize there isn't enough time left to finish the media I planned to watch

That absolutely definitely never happened here .

I copied the TVSeries.ArtworkChooser.xml to my Apollo Theme-Folder, but I don't see the label in the menu to enter the new Artwork Chooser. I refreshed, cleared cache and rebooted.

Whilst typing this I had the idea to copy the .xml to the main folder of the skin instead just my theme folder. This added the label to the menu. Now I can start modifying

Russian has no fanart

Nothing I can do @ajs, if it does not show up in the API then you need to ask thetvdb.com.

Awesome Stuff!
The Beta runs fine here and the Artwork Chooser will be a great usability improvement once fully implemented. I switched to Titan temporarily and tried it for a bit and love it already. Will it include custom artwork added by the user (like a poster named "custom.jpg")? Because I wasn't able to see those I have in my library.

Yes, it's on the list to add support to view your custom.jpg's as well.

Since I personally use the StreamedMP skin, I will update that skin to support the new GUI. For now, Im concentrating on coding the solution first...

I use StreamedMP skin and I have no Artwork Chooser, if I switch to the Titan skin, then Artwork Chooser appears, but when you select any picture, nothing happens
