    Hi DieBagger!

    Mr V even if DieBagger was active he would probably wouldn't do it as part of this but as a seperate plugin(? - not sure how it works with mediaportal, I use XBMC).

    In xbmc there is a logo downloader which gets ClearLOGOs, ClearART, TV Thumbs and Season Thumbs, these match against thetbdb ids.

    There is also a cdART manager which gets cdART, Artist ClearLOGO, Album Covers and Multiple Artist Backgrounds (they cycle through in skins that support it), the plugin matches against the musicbrainz database and sends the ID to the fanart.tv API.

    So the music side is quite a different beast, however, it might be possible to adapt the cdART manager in XBMC to work in mediaportal, I'm not sure. It is written in python.

    Hi Kode,

    Thanks for the info.

    I have used XBMC. Thats where i am getting my inspiration from for the Streamed MP music skin files. My programming knowledge is quite limited and i dont know python.

    On the other side DieBagger has kindly passed on the source code for the clearart downloader. When i have time im going to modify it to download music clearart and cdArt.

    hi guys, this looks like a great feature but it looks like i am about 8 months late to the party!

    i cant seemt to get this to find any images for my tvseries. they are all found by the program, amd it returns a line for each series with the name and IMDB code in brackets, but no images are found.

    Have there been any updates to mptvseries to incorporate this since this thread started?

    Your Skin must support this feature too ? And the image location must be there ::
    C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Thumbs\ClearArt
