thumbnail crc code path (for the season cover)
#1
Question 
ok i know that the thumbnails and fanarts are being cached and that it is "hidden" with a strange crc code file path ... like:
userdata/Thumbnails/Video/d/d3345899.tbn
witch would be for :
/Volumes/Movies/500 Days of Summer/500 Days of Summer [eng].mkv

so i was able to calculate everything from movie cover, fanart … tv show banner and episode thumb

but what is the initial path to calculate the crc path for the season cover ... ?
if it is <tvShow>/<season>/ ... then what if all seasons a re on one folder ?
and thats the case sometimes and it still works so its not that ...
and it cant be the first episode of a given season because that's the episode thumb ... only thing i would guess is something like <tvShow>/season<number> ... kinda like a fake path ... but as i said that's
guessing someone has to know pls tell me

thanks in advance lad

ps this is all for a php based website connecting to the sqlit3 database of xbmc ... screenshots:

yes this did it ^^ ... well helped
and this thread i found by searching for the "fileitem.py"
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=62545
seams i am not the first one to stumble apon this
so for the future ppl:

the path to a thumbnail / cover of a season from a tv show given trough
the crc code of a path / string is calculate with a pattern like this:
"season"+<pathToTvShow>+"Season "+<seasonNumber>
eg
"season/Volumes/Serien/How i met your mother [eng]/Season 1"

put this string into a "correct" string_to_crc function and you get
the crc code for the first season of how i met you mother
witch is: 0326687c

and yes i will share it ... why not ^^
the movie part is pretty finished but the tv show part needs some more love
and design

it just wont be fun writing the instructions for installation -.-
as far i can say you need an apache server with sqlite3
and if i can get it running on my system image magic and or <some php libary i forgot the name of -.->

lad

ps the file is called file_item.py by know at least that's what i got
pps a screenshot from the single tv show view: http://cl.ly/wkS

In case you're willing to wait a month or two, you won't have to bother once video thumbs are moved to the texture cache: The original thumb URL will be stored in the database.
