Hi
I am fairly new to XBMC. I am playing around with the Artwork/Clean Art and logos. I enabled the options in settings, but the Skin does not seem to use it. When I select “Use Logo” for instance it gives me what looks like a generic XBMC “logo”. I can see that a bunch of extra pictures was downloaded, but it does not seem to use it.
Secondly is it possible to have multiple backdrops which change on an interval?
Please advise.
Thanks

1) you need the logo.png/clearart.png files. you can get them with artwork downloader add-on.
if you have them already, try deleting userdata/database/texturesxx.db
2) multiple backdrops for which area?

The area that you have circled in the first pic is reserved for posters. The only poster.jpg you have in the correct folder is actually a banner. All fanart (except extrafanart) needs to be kept in the root folder of the show - the same folder you have your tvshow.nfo
Furthermore, season fanart needs to be named season1-fanart, season2-fanart, etc. Same with season posters - season1-poster, season2-poster, etc (if you have "use poster.jpg" option ticked). Try a little reorganization and see if you can get the results you want.

Hi
And thanks for the reply. If I change the Icon to “Poster” the are circled in the first pic shows the poster named poster.jpg in the season 1 folder, but should it not use the logo.png when icon is set to “logo”?
Secondly, I tried naming the fanart files to season1-fanart as you suggested, but I still only see the fanart from the Tv show when browsing to the season. What am I missing.
I also still cannot figure out how to use the extra fanart and clear art (I should add that these images were downloaded by the artwork downloader). For example, I set the TVShow view to “Banner Plex” and change the view type setting “fanart” to extra fanart, I only see the fanart in the tv show folder, not from the extra fanart folder
What are the area’s circled in the second picture for?
Thanks.
