might be a good time to start a discussion on banners in skins...
what would users prefer?
-use a skin hack to show banner.jpg images
cons: you need to use a third party app to download them or you have to manually rename the the show thumbs
-stick with default xbmc standards (ie folder.jpg)
pros: will work right out of the box with the default scraper.

I prefer the first option since I also need the same third party app to download the tv show logo.

About all I can think is that you can compare to Studio and show if the show is "available" in HD.

lol. You are just going through the same issues we all do when skinning. Running into limitations of the application.

You should ask ronie, ppic, and grajen how well I deal with limitations
That data is out there, we just have to find a creative way to get it!

lol
Um... since we're on the topic and I've downloaded it and all... is there a mass update feature of the addon that will go grab all the banners I need?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it in Alaska
