[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 920363, member: 76888"] A cool feature (especially if this makes it's way into moving pictures) would be allow the scraper to auto create a disc image for movies that do not have one available on fanart.tv. The scraper could use the existing poster image and just mask it using a templete png file. Example below [ATTACH=full]112115[/ATTACH] Most movies have multiple posters, so you could mask the poster that moving pictures is not using to make the disc image Example below [ATTACH=full]112116[/ATTACH] This would mean that every single movie in your collection could be displayed with a disc image, even the movies that don't have a disc image available on fanart.tv To further advance this you could do the following - Scraper detects whether the movie in the database is HD or SD and uses a bluray template for HD and a DVD template for SD movies - Multiple templates available, scraper picks one at random so that discs don't look too similar between movies that have missing disc images - Maybe use the fanart background for creating the disc image rather than the dvd poster [ATTACH=full]112117[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
