One request - is it possible to have the search results show whether any images exist? It's a little annoying when I search on a movie, see the results, click on the link only to see the "Movie poster not found" message. For the (dwindling) list of movies that don't have images yet, I'd like to know that right after the search results come up instead of having to click again. Not a big deal for one movie, but it adds up when rechecking the couple dozen movies that I'm still image-less for...

Rand Al Thor Wrote:One more request. For music I would love to see band logos. The name or band symbol in the bands colors using the bands fonts etc. these images would be saved at a preset size. Perhaps 500x500 and depending on the shape of the logo it would have to fill this space either vertically or horizontally and the rest of the image would be transparent (probably would have to be .png's).
I requested something like this for tvshows at thetvdb.com. Here are a few examples of what the band logos could be used for if we could get them scraped and added to the skinning engine.
As you can see in these screenshots, I have placed the band logo in the top right corner. With the logo there is no need to have artistname. However, if no band logo is available it would be easy to have it default to show text of the artistname.
You can see then that, from a skinning standpoint, manipulating the position/size of the band logo adds a lot of possibilities for the creative skinner to utilize.
These are just a few examples to illustrate what I am proposing. To actually make it happen we would need support from you and your site and from team xbmc. Anyone interested?
