This is probably goign to sound stupid to some and is probably obvious but I have not worked it out yet Smile

OK.. my son has loads of cbr comics and I have installed the comic stuff. It shows cover art etc and allows me to select a cbr comic. HOW though do you change page Smile

Could someone explain how the artwork works.

I have my cbr's in one directory and another directory structure for artwork.

- do I create an identicle directoty structure for artwork as comic cbr's

- do I name cover art as the same name as the comic cbr files or just folder

- is it possible to have fanart for actual comic in background when browsing comics

just a couple of questions Smile

Main one though is an explination of how the artwork is stored.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here, but to flip pages, use the arrow keys.. I usually open a Cbr, hit the + key to zoom in, up and down arrows scroll up and down the page, and then ',' and '.' will flip the page if you're zoomed in..

As far as directory structure goes, I do mine like this..

Spiderman\Amazing Spiderman\issue1.cbr
Spiderman\Amazing Spiderman\issue1.tbn
Spiderman\Ultimate Spiderman\issue1.cbr

As of right now, the only problem is the way Xbmc displays cbr thumbs.. Spiff said he could change that though, so eventually Xbmc will use the first image in the cbr as it's thumb.. As a temporary fix till that happens, I used a script to extract the first image from each cbr and rename it to whatever filename it came out of..

and for fanart, I don't think we can do that yet..

What platform are you using?

I've been using Ikons Window builds lately.. There are two dll files that he wasn't including which wasn't allowing me to open cbr files.. Those files are included with his newer builds as of yesterday I think.. If it's not that, I'm not sure..

Maybe a Mac Xbmc issue? Assuming your cbr files are good.. but If you can't open cbr files in either the pictures tab or my comic tab, then I would ask about it in the Mac section..
