Thanks alot Mirk.

On a side note, this really is a great community. Whenver I've had a question, 'dumb' or not, or asked for something, it's always been well recieved and quick. It doesn't go unnoticed.

Thanks

mfwilli: totally agree, this section of the forum is something to be proud of!

Is there any chance the fan art could be incorporated into thetvdb database so it could be automatically downloaded with banners and the like?

That's really a question for the online DB guys. If it's done it'll need to be seperated for 4:3 and 16:9 though. Paul, are you listening?

I am and my initial thought would be no just because it could possibly be a huge storage and bandwidth addition. But if i can get a-hold of Scott we'll talk it over.

Are we talking about the possibility of multiple images per series or just one per aspect ratio or ...?

Would anyone have any fan-art for 24?

Yeah, I wouldn't really wanna restrict it to just one. Anyways, I already figured it'd increase the bandwidth too much for you guys as those images are pretty large (I've seen anywhere from 200k - 1,3 mb!, typically in the 500k region).

It'd rather you focus the database itself stays solid

Just did some for some of my favourites...basically just wallpapers with a little photoshop ;-)
These are my first - feel free to improve, delete or flame me :-D


Those are included:
Star Trek
Star Trek TNG
Star Trek DS9
Star Trek Voyager
Friends

I don´t have webspace available, so you´ll have to deal with rar and those small thumbs....

I really like the composition of the Friends one, but the quality is really bad imho. Any chance on higher quality?

Problem is, the source is 800x600. I´ll try to get my hands on another one.....

Skin Design & Fan Art

I love this Fan Art feature a lot. So much that I might even update our living room HTPC with 0.2.3.0 RC1 (contrary to my guideline only to install stable builds there).

However there is one thing that I keep wondering about:

Most of the Fan Art pictures assume that the right side of the screen is where the series banner, season & episode listing is located. However there are some skin designs out there (f.e. ReVision/Replicant) where this information is displayed on the left side (by design). This means that the skinner has to decide if he is changing his screen layout for the MP-TV Series plugin to fit the Fan Art or if he creates new Fan Art files for all the shows. Has anybody thought about this?
