And if djh does something to the info page for the tv section and we get to see these in all their glory?
I wouldn't want small crappy images then. Tongue Besides the intitial download xbmc should be resizing these for its own cache so it shouldn't be an issue.

could use http://fanarts.fr/ to store.

Right, I've requested Multiple Thumb support for XBMC.

My vote is still as fanart on thetvdb as they are working on supporting it right now. And with scraper support in addition it would be perfect. Let us all stick to the way we started to make it consistent.

At least until someone on tvdb or xbmc end comes up with a real solution.

My point is they're not stored by XBMC as Fanart but Thumbs (hence the resizing) so adding support for more than one thumb (ie thumb, thumb1, thumb2) would allow skinners to use one for normal poster, another for 16x9 poster, plus any more they fancied.
As long there's a standard in place scrapers would look for 16x9 posters on TVdb and name them correspondingly for XBMC to store as thumb1 thus allowing skinners to use them for different views.

I don't like the overlay idea. It would be too hard to get good quality from it. I'm not opposed to the separate section, though. If we did that, we could select a smaller size for the images as well. Something closer to the size of an episode image. Putting them in fanart for now will have to suffice, though.

Looks like we'll get an ideal solution eventually, for now it's fanart.

i wasn't suggesting that this solution be halted, merely voicing my opinion about what size they should be to see i stand alone or what not. Wink

Yeah that would be a nice solution Smile

I've been making all of mine 640x320, so you're not alone. Laugh
