This will be the last major release for a while.

The next release will be any bug fixes, and I am also looking at some way of including RSS/Blogs into the interface somewhere.

Have you copied over the latest skin files? It looks like you are still using the old ones.

Ah apologies, I see the problem.
I forgot to update the skin files for the original anime series view.
If you switch to the "simplified" view in configuration it should work.

Will have a fix later today.

Hi lwerndly,

Thank you very much for the effort. I am just migrating from my old pre 1.0 version to 1.0 and really appreciated your web service. Took still some hours but would have taken days otherwise.

Question:
Is it somehow possible to force manually banner images for folders?
I have several sub-subfolders containing the videos, but would like to have for the empty higher level folders appropriate banners.
So far my "old" way was to put a video file in these folders and delete it after the plugin has retireved the AnimeDB Images. - But maybe there is a way to place the banner as jpg directly?

Cheers,
yhoogi

yhoogi - You are doing exactly the same thing as i do at the moment

At the moment, that information is stored in the database.
What I might do is something similar to the top left banner images. Where you can just place an image in the folder and it will check there for a file called "banner.jpg".
I'd actually thought of doing something like this earlier, because sometimes i prefer the images from MyAnimeList or ANN etc.
So you can override the default image from AniDB.

I'll try this today and see how it goes.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted thier data. Currently have 21,000+ unique files in the database.

0.2.4

FIXED: Improved performance on characters view
ADDED: You can now have any folder display a selected cover image by simply placing a file called "cover.jpg" in the desired folder.
This will override any images that are automatically downloaded
