Has anyone made a default clearart. One that could be used if there isn't a clearart for a certain tv show/movie?

If so. Could you please post it? Maby as a .psd so that we could change text etc...?

there is no such thing but if you create one please post it...

anyway what could be a default clearArt, which show could use it ?

more important what are you watching that you need it ?

Hmm, I can see how for documentaries you might have a logo and then the text 'documentary' as a default ClearArt for that genre, but I don't know how you would make that appear for completely different file names, if that's what you're trying to do.

Not a bad suggestion though.

Here's an example of what I mean from a google search:

It could work for lots of things like sport etc, I have no idea how you would implement it though, maybe if the clearart pulled info from the genre tag in the .nfo or something.

that looks cool but a default one is the same one for all genres, unless a boolean can be add to show a default clearart depending on the show genre but i dont know am just rambling here.

Code:
    <control type ="image">
        <description>tv show image</description>
        <posx>1049</posx>    
        <posy>-108</posy>    
        <width>230</width>    
        <height>115</height>
        <texture fallback="clearart/$INFO[VideoPlayer.Genre].png">clearart/$INFO[VideoPlayer.TVShowTitle].png</texture>
        <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>
        <visible>VideoPlayer.Content(episodes)</visible>
    </control>
*well I have already foreseen a problem, almost all series are tags with more than one genre..(Ex. action/drama)

also now that i have more than one HTPC running XBMC am in the middle of changing the code to read the clearArt from the corresponding (local or remote)show source folder instead of a folder inside the media skin folder. already made the changes for the music fanart and cdarts.
