Hi, I have NO idea what I'm doing wrong. I just can't get banners to properly display in my TV Shows section.

I have the Artwork Downloader program, and it has successfully downloaded a banner.jpg for 95% of TV show, and these images are in the sub dir for each TV show.

The strange thing is that XBMC displays a banner for only 2 TV shows, and only one of those shows has a banner.jpg. So maybe it's getting them from somewhere else? Huh


Could someone please advise how I force XBMC to display banners and where it gets the image from??

Many thanks.

I believe some skins will use the banner.jpg name while others don't, since it's not actually a core feature of XBMC. What you probably need to do is rename the banner.jpg files to folder.jpg and also make sure that in Settings -> Skin you have banners selected instead of posters.

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

thanks, but no luck. I have even reinstalled xbmc from scratch, removing the XBMC folder in the user data.

I am just using the default skin.

For some reason, a couple of new shows that i added were allocated banners, however they don't have any image files in their directory.

Any help is greatly appreciated Sad
