Getting TV show fan art from the JSONRPC API - jbrennan - 2010-07-14
I can't seem to find out how to get fan art for tv shows over the JSON RPC. Does anyone know how to do this? I can pull the poster banners for the tv series themselves, but fan art I can't seem to figure out

I'm trying to do something similar with movies, how did you get the poster banners? i look at the fanart property of a movie and it gives me a local path, i then try Files.Download and it tells me that it doesn't recognise the Method...
can anyone help with getting images off of the api??

Example TV show call:
Code:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.GetTVShows", "params": { "properties": ["genre", "plot", "title", "originaltitle", "year", "rating", "thumbnail", "playcount", "file", "fanart"], "id": 1}The easiest way to display the images is to use the vfs that the above returns (although you may need to use Files.PrepareDownload at a later date). Example:
Code:
