Does it support banner for tv shows?

Yes, Back Row has a few great TV show views that use banner images.

I just tried to change the single default music fanart to one of my own, but XBMC isn't picking upon the change.
The file I replaced was "Now Playing Background.jpg" in the media folder.
Was that the right file to change? Has XBMC also cached the default image somewhere that I need to delete?
Thanks!

Would it be possible to designate an "extrafanart" folder, for the generic slideshow picture. (Ie when no artist fanart is present have a slideshow of several "generic music" fanarts from a specified folder instead of seeing only the default guitar image?)
Just a thought...thanks!

Yep that's the correct image - so when you change it and rebuild it still shows the old image does it? That does sound like it's reading from a cache or perhaps another version of the skin located in Appdata perhaps?

Well I had just changed it without rebuilding....does that mean running build.bat after swapping out the file?
If so then I just tried that too and I still get the guitar...I only have BackRow folder in my appdata so it must be being cached somewhere....

Hello just to let you know that I've added this - you can now set the location of your fallback slideshow in skin options. Once you set it the the fallback slideshow will display when no fanart is available. Oh and I've changed the default "Now Playing" image as well:

Another quick update - I've now made the file path label in the video info dialog hidden by default - just press down to activate it.

Fantastic! This is such a cool feature - completely unique AFAIK to Backrow
Thank you!
(I love the new default image too - I copied it across to my designated fallback slideshow folder so it would show up in the slideshow).
Incidentally if anyone wants some cool fanarts for this fallback slideshow, my gf upped 3 here :http://www.htbackdrops.com/search.php?search_user=ladybaby.
Sharpe - one last idea I had for the music fanart slideshow: if no extrafanart is found under the "artist" name , would it be possible to check for an extrafanart folder under the "album artist" name, before resorting to the fallback slideshow?
For example I have all my Hindhi movie soundrtracks tagged with "album artist" Bollywood OST. None of the actual artists have fanart, but i would be cool if the fanart slideshow could be made from the extrafanart folder inside the "Bollywod OST" folder.
Oh, and also....Ken Burns is still not very smooth for me for me - does that not show up at your end? (cf. ,say, the fanart slideshow XBMC screensaver).

Perfect solution! Thanks
