Hi, I am a newbie here, so please bear with me, i have done so much research before asking this question but i couldn't find the answer in my research, it could be because i am missing something, so if some one point me to step by step guide that will be great.

Now, problem is, i have got Apple Tv2 recently and jailbroken it and installed xbmc on it, i have added some sources and enabled add-on's. now, when i go to videos and video add-on's its showing all the channels in list view but i have seen on youtube and some pictures, they have thumbnails for the channels but they are not showing up for me. when i was checking the forums for this, they said check the userdata folder which will have all thumnails, as they said it contains all the thumbnails but i don't why they are not showing up. please point me in correct direction. thank you very much for your help.

What 'channels' are you referring to? Perhaps a screen shot will help to see what you mean.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, its just video add-on's, channels like bbc, sky sports, etc, like anything, once i go to video-->video ad-on's then there are loads of channels which i have enabled using different repo's. so, i expect there all the channels need to show icons instead of just channel list and i select them. I am not at home at the moment, that's why i couldn't give screeshot. Sorry. Thanks.

So the actual addon has no icon? Or once you're running the add-on there's no icons for the channels?

I don't run these addons as I'm in Australia and not a lot works here.

Arrow over to the left and the sidebar should pop up. This should have your view options for that screen, letting you change it to an icon-based view.

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

Hi, thanks for the reply, r u referring to windows/mac? Because how can I do arrow over to left on Apple tv, but any way when I pressed to right on the Apple tv remote it gave me options there I can change view options. But it seems like I have to do for each plug in like that, I think there is should be somewhere centralised view options and when I change, and it should change for all the plug ins. Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for the help but i don't think that's my problem, coz i never had them before, even a fresh install itself, all of the add on's, channels etc show up as list not thumnails. any way i thought of giving a try with your solution and i have deleted the texture.db and restarted and its recreated but still problem is same. Thank you.
