Hi there.
Xbmc tries to load item's thumbnail from the item's own folder. What happens when the isn't one? User needs to manually point one (library mode).
Can there be a alternative folder for the Xbmc to seek thumbnails &/ fanart?
in Advancedsettings.xml there could be Settings for video/audio/music/ to have the unc/path for common thumbnail folder with fanarts.
There is already <dvdthumbs>, <fanart> and <musicthumbs> but with no alternative path pointer..
Case: When scrapping a vast number of Movies from IMDB, all movies does not have a cover / fanart hence in Library mode system does not have cover to show. User needs to manually point one.
Xbmc could seek & attach automatically cover to the movie from another place than from the same folder as the movie.
