Seeing as there's still some users out there I put together a Banner view with the Alaska touch.

I got the banners working with the update, but how do you get it to look like you do in your screen shots in under TV Shows, withough the text and the studio icon like thatConfused

Thanks for the help!

It only works for Library mode and you'll have to use a Media Manager to get the studio flags.

The Ember Media Manager right? I thought about that. I had been using Media Info Plus for TV shows, since it has a seperate tab for showing just "shows".....I dont think the EMM has that. I will try it and get back with you. Thanks for the quick reply.

EDITE: On second thought.....I know that EMM uses IMDB to get all the info....how do you do it for TV shows to pull the info from TVDB.comConfused?

On second thoughts XBMC gets the studio tags anyway so you just have to enable Studio flags in the settings.

Ok, maybe Im not understanding something here. All of my files are ISO's so I for TV shows I have always used Media Info Plus to get all the info, episode picture, etc. and it has worked perfectly.
But now with the newer versions of XBMC, I have had to use Ember Media Manager and I have figured out how to use it for movies, but Im a bit confused for TV shows. My TV shows are labeled like this:

Band of Brothers (folder)
- Band of Brothers S01E01.sddvd
- Band of Brothers S01E02.sddvd

Ember Media Manager seems to not read the files like Media Info Plus for tv shows??

I do have studio tags enabled in Alaska and they definately show once an individual episode is selected. But the main screen for each show, Im now showing a banner and text of the title......but yours shows the banner and the studio icon. Still cant figure it out.

Check the NFO file for the <studio> tag.

I cant get the Banner View to work. Only get all the old views, and File View is the one that looks most like it, except that the banner is left and the showname and stuff is centered... theres no banner view in the view options...
