Have you guys uploaded all of these to http://www.htbackdrops.com (Home Theater Backdrops)?

htbackdrops.com offers backdrops for weather and games too (no support in XBMC yet)

I have not. Formatted HD, haven't taken the time to re-DL all my packs.
Perhaps I'll do this today.
This wouldn't have anything to do with someone trying to develop a scraper for music fanart, would it??
Edit:
Who runs the site? I'm wondering if there's a faster way of adding all of these images, as opposed to manually editing each entry page-by-page.

Nice. Any idea when we can expect this new goodie?
I posted in the thread about bulk uploading, and am working on uploading all 170+ images five-at-a-time in the meanwhile. I'm into the G's now, but I'm starting to get bored. (ADD)
So, we'll see how far I get...

LOL...don't tell me that. I just finished uploading every one of the music fanarts I made.
Why don't you know if HTbackdrops will work?

Oh. I thought there was an API added...
I was talking about checking out the xbmc-360 thread.

Probably missed this in last, but do you get local fanart for music to show up?
- digitalhigh - 2009-01-05 16:53
Do you mean "Does fanart work for music like it does for movies?"
Not yet...they're working on it.
