Differentiate between genre art for movies and for tv series?
#1
As the topic states:

Is there an "easy way" to differentiate genre art (icon & fanart) which is meant for movies and which genre art is meant for tv-series?
So that it would show different art per genre based on where you are browsing.

For example:
Movies -> Genre -> Action = Movies_Action.jpg
TV Showss -> Genre -> Action = TV Shows_Action.jpg

I know where the custom genre art needs to be stored (Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeon.nox\extras\genre\video), but I don't
feel like coming up with a few dozen "custom genres" and needing to edit about 1200 nfo-files.

Is there a way to tell xbmc or the skin the difference between genre art for movies and genre art for TV Shows?
Or doesn't the core code within xbmc (or within Aeon Nox) allow there to be different genre art for movies and TV Shows?

I have done it by creating new tv genres by editing the nfo's - simply renamed the genres with the suffix (TV) and added the appropriate backgrounds named accordingly.
I can manually reassign the tv show genre - (edit the nfo for each show - not episode)
I have about 50 different shows so took me about an hour - now as I add new series I just edit the nfo now - 2 minute job.
I do however use ember media manager beforehand to set the original genres - then I edit the nfo before scraping in xbmc.
I did some basic tv backgounds a while back
