Lightbulb  Patching this concept to TheTVDB admins and other media center applications... Post: #42
I really like the idea behind "ClearArt", so you do not mind that I quickly made a post to pitch this concept in TheTVDB.com forum:
http://forums.thetvdb.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1237

...who knows, if it catches on with TheTVDB crowd then this might be something that could soon become a new standard in all open source media center applications.

Cool

I like it for overlays on the show it's perfect there where posters or normal thumbs look out of place.
However I don't see it fitting in outside of that as others have suggested.

yeah who knows, but I dont see it main stream , I was inspire by the way networks like tbs put shows ads overlay during some shows, of course theirs are video overlays this are images but you get the idea..I dont know it looks cool and different.

Thanks man !
It would be a good idea to have a command so the image can be call like VideoPlayer.clearart , instead of all the code necessary to make this work (you need to match every show title and display an image accordingly )

I already submit a ticket for VideoPlayer.fanart
