Ok, care to elaborate on the "issues" it can cause? I'd be interested to know as I'm going to play around with that option this weekend.

Easy to play with so go for it. Issues can include fighting the desktop resolution and unsupported resolutions from your TV/GPU.

System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

Various combinations of hardware with GPUs and displays can cause craziness. Sometimes it just works, and sometimes it makes the screen all wonky.

You can make easy links to the XBMC wiki using double brackets around words: [[debug log]] = debug log, [[Add-on:YouTube]] = Add-on:YouTube, [[Adding videos to the library]] = Adding videos to the library, [[userdata]] = userdata, etc

I'm wondering how you change movie set thumbnails.
I'm able to open a menu and select "set movieset thumbnail"
But when I select "Set movieset thumb" or "Set movieset fanart" there's no thumbs or fanart available. I can only "browse" So I'm left with a random movie thumbnail from a movie in the series.

Any ideas?

The Browser at that point in the choosing allows you to locate the image of your choice. At this time there is no central repository for movie set artwork that can be scraped. XBMC picks the first folder set artwork as default. The easiest solution I've found is to include the set artwork in the sets folder with any name.

Thanks for the response... Yah, I figured that may have been the case with the artwork for movie sets. (No where to scrape the thumbnails.)
Would you be able to copy/paste the path to the XBMC sets folder? As for the thumbnail artwork - If you need to manually download and add the thumbnail artwork from some where - where is the best place to get it? Do certain dimensions work best? I kinda want the best quality.

Oh yeah, one other thing. Why does a mouse not work with Aeon theme? If I recall it works with Confluence.
Many thanks!

Ok, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to add a TV Show header on the main menu of Aeon theme.
Anyone know how to turn that on?

If you add the source for your tv shows and set the content to tv shows, the new header will show on the home screen.
