No Cover Art showing for TV Shows?

I was having this problem too, but wasn't too worried about it since I don't use this setting. I asked about a different problem and Phil65 suggested renaming guisettings.xml. It fixed my problem and I just happened to notice it also fixed this issue. Looks like it threw off a couple of my settings, but it doesn't look like anything that will take long to straighten back out.

Ok, I tried renaming quisettings.xml and that fixed the problem for a day or two. Now it's doing it again. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary in that time.

I keep seeing the text below in the debug, but the server is fine, if I switch to another skin the logos work again.

DEBUG: CTextureCache::GetImageHash - unable to stat url smb://SMITHSERVER/Videos/logo.png
DEBUG: CTextureCache::GetImageHash - unable to stat url smb://SMITHSERVER/Videos/Pam Scott TV/logo.png"

Very confusing. Nox accesses networked storage the same way as other skins, doesn't it?

What if I put a couple of shows on an external drive and plug it directly into the PC xbmc is installed on? That would at least rule out the server wouldn't it? Although if that works I'm not sure what it will solve because I want to keep my shows on the server...

Nox only works with this folder structure:
--TV SHOWS
----Band of Brothers
------logo.png
------clearart.png
------poster.jpg
------banner.jpg
------landscape.jpg
------fanart.jpg
------season1-fanart.jpg
--------extrafanart
--------Season 1

Only with the season structure you'll be able to see logos on episode level and only when the tvshows are in separate folders you'll be able to see them on tvshow level.
The log shows that Nox is searching for logo.png on the root and subroot level of your folder structure instead of in the main tvshow root folder.
We'll only support this structure because its very slow to look for artwork in different places. The other skins you mention probably look for artwork in all different places.

My folder structure looks exactly like this except instead of TV SHOWS mine says Pam and Scott TV.

Wouldn't the fact that Nox is looking for the logo in the wrong place mean that it's a problem with my Nox setup?

Thanks.

As you can see in this one the network, backdrop and rating are still showing up:

When you setup your library did you set the content of the Pam & Scott folder directly as the tv content or is it in a sub folder inside of the directory you set like TV->Pam & Scott TV? Like Big_Noid said above It looks like to me XBMC is seeing your folder as a sub directory and is trying to scan it as a tvshow also. If this is whats happening it would sill pickup the shows in the sub folders but it might cause the trouble you are having.

I don't have "banner.jpg" enabled either though - but if I turn on "poster.jpg - the posters disappear again.

Is it me - or is this option reacting opposite of how it reads?

I can verify that this was the exact same issue as my setup. My library is setup to comply with aeon nox folder structure but when I enable this option I lose poster.jpg files attached at the tv show level, when disabling they return thus having the opposite action as defined by the setting "use poster.jpg"

I'm having the same issue with no logo's for my tv shows. Running latest version of openelec eden and my directory structure is correct...

SMB:1.1.1.200/Media (mapped)
-Movies - Added to video lib as type movie
---(all my movies)
-TV - added to video library as type tv
---(Show 1)
-------(season 1)
---(show 2)

any suggestions?

Having a hard time locking down a decent search term for it...thats not too generic.

thanks!

You don't have added your source correct or you need to enable read/write permission on that server

nostic · 2012-05-30 03:25

My issue was permission based. I had to give the user "everyone" read access to the share, which makes no sense since the share is mapped via a user account with full permissions. This seems like Eden issue to me, Working now, I would prefer not having to share a folder with everyone rights.

**jmarshall** · 2012-05-30 03:35

Notice no user/pass in the smb:// URLs. The skin is hacking together the URL from the ListItem.Path, which is the sanitized version of the path, with no user/pass.

If you haven't specifically input your user/pass in XBMC (i.e. if you always put it in the URL, rather than waiting for XBMC to prompt you for it) then XBMC's authentication manager doesn't know about it.

Cheers,
Jonathan
