I have tried countless options and am unable to recreate the view used in this image. I think it was used with Big Fan but my clear logo doesnt center underneath the fanart and it ends up looking nothing like this. Does anyone know how this was done?

Landscape view
and in MediaMenu(the left menu in the views) Viewtype options->Icon: TV show logo

Hi there,
I tried to setup my tv series like the showed picture (and the help provided here) but it's not working.
Everything looks fine but the series banner is not showing up. Instead I only get a placeholder (like a tv monitor).

I use Aeon Nox 2.0.

Can someone help me?

Edit:
That's how it looks at the moment:

i am a noob but i just figured this out, if your willing to do manual work, go to fanart.tv and download each shows logo (Clear art) save the files and throw each one into that shows directory on your computer. Name each file logo.png once its in the shows directory. Then just go into your tv shows section and they will all show up, you wont have to do anything within xbmc Smile

It would be much much easier to use the artwork downloader: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114633

I think it's in the official repo...
