Season poasters/banners - Martijn - 2012-01-13
I got most of the things figured out however I do appreciate some feedback.
I will be able to save 'poster.jpg' and 'banner.jpg' inside the season folders.
Would this feature be appriciated by skinners?
PHP Code:
tvshows/season ../poster.jpg
tvshows/season ../banner.jpg
Any other suggestions what you guys would be looking for concerning this?
Note:
Still working on a way to directly push the downloaded poster locations into xbmc database.

Doesn't XBMC ignore season folders?

Quote:You can have different seasons in different season subfolders under the individual TV Show folders if it suits you. XBMC does not use them, but they do not cause issues either.
I don't use them myself either but if XBMC doesn't use them are they included in the media path?

That's true however AD wasn't intended (and can't) to be used before stuff is added to the library. It is intended to make life easy after it was scanned.
I always use season folders and they are scanned without any problems.
Banners aren't supported by XBMC anyway. In other words most skins just use poster as default and look for banner.jpg in the tvshow folder (or offer this as an option).
I already discussed this once with BigNoid (and forgot what came out of that) and his skin already needs season folders for some things to work (and i agree this makes a lot of sense using season folders).
I can already save them like XBMC exports them but i don't think skins can easily use them like that. So i was looking for a way that skins can have easy access to downloaded artwork.
Season posters can be pushed into the library (once i figure it out) however season banners are 'new' and not supported yet.
Others options/proposals?

currently, season thumbs live in the root folder of the tv show:
Code:
House/season08.tbnso maybe store poster/banner there as well?
as for the naming scheme, you could use:
Code:
House/season08-poster.jpg
House/season08-banner.jpgno clue if there's any downsides to it, but it seems to most logical thing to do.
edit:
nah, forget it.

Possibility:
PHP Code:
Season Folders:
$INFO[ListItem.Path]$INFO[ListItem.Season,../season,-banner.jpg]
$INFO[ListItem.Path]$INFO[ListItem.Season,../season,-poster.jpg]
$INFO[Player.Folderpath]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Season,../season,-banner.jpg]
$INFO[Player.Folderpath]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Season,../season,-posters.jpg]
No season folders:
$INFO[ListItem.Path]$INFO[ListItem.Season,season,-banner.jpg]
$INFO[ListItem.Path]$INFO[ListItem.Season,season,-poster.jpg]
$INFO[Player.Folderpath]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Season,season,-banner.jpg]
$INFO[Player.Folderpath]$INFO[VideoPlayer.Season,season,-posters.jpg]
PHP Code:
tvshows/seasonx-poster.jpg
tvshows/seasonx-banner.jpg
tvshows/seasonx-landscape.jpg
- Martijn - 2012-01-16
OK I got things working like proposed in previous post.
PHP Code:
tvshows/seasonx-poster.jpg
tvshows/seasonx-banner.jpg
Extra info like rating,season, language,size are included in the image selection dialog.
This is in no way final release. It all depends on how you guys feel about the season banners and posters.
I would rather push the season posters straight to the database if possible and that is something i will be working on next week to get that working.
Script can be run the same way but now with extra commands: seasonbanner, seasonposter

Any feedback from you guys is welcome

I'm having a problem adding this to get banner images.
Here's what happens -
The progress dialog doesn't close when the banners are found.
Thanks.

Weird. Just tried with reFocus and it closes the progress dialog.
It shouldn't make any difference on what type of image you use.
Can i get that version included the banner part from your googlecode page?
EDIT:
Ah i see what's the problem
You have a different z index than others. In T! the select dialog is on top of the progress dialog.
Will close the progress dialog first

I thought I already had fixed it but apparently i only did that for the GUI mode and not the custom mode that uses the image list.
Anyway I fixed it in git. So if you want to try you can grab the new code.
- Hitcher - 2012-01-20
Yep, that's sorted it thanks.

While adding season banners support to XeeBo I noticed the script didn't find season banners for The Unit even though they exist.
Thanks.
