"ClearArt" concept - overlay type artwork for ex. 'episode poster/fanart on paused'

DuMbGuM Wrote:Hmm, I can see how for documentaries you might have a logo and then the text 'documentary' as a default ClearArt for that genre, but I don't know how you would make that appear for completely different file names, if that's what you're trying to do.

Not a bad suggestion though.

Here's an example of what I mean from a google search:



It could work for lots of things like sport etc, I have no idea how you would implement it though, maybe if the clearart pulled info from the genre tag in the .nfo or something.

So, are you in for this DuMbGuM ??

I'd like to see it happen but It seems like the whole double-genre thing is a problem with stuff like 'action/drama' as you said, maybe if it was changed manually it could work?

Heres another quick example of a properly sized one for any testing purposes. I like this colour scheme because it suits the red curtain backdrop that DJH introduced some time ago.

it would be nice if all of them include a movie clapper on the back and on front the related icon/logo/image..so they all can be seen like a theme.

BTW, porting to Alaska...

nice view

Do you mean like the ones I was creating for Movie Genres HERE these could be easily adapted but I cant see how it would be picked up if there isnt a clearart to display ?

looks good on alsaka...

exactly the idea....

Even something as simple as a standard clapperboard & text could work..

/mockup

I still dont see the point I think it looks better if theres no clearart if the file doesn't exist then you dont have all these horrible default images showing up left right and center.
that said its a mute point for me as All my shows have Clearart but would be good if it could pull the image from the tvshow folder though...

my clearArts, cdArts and music fanart are all pull from the source folder all remote shares.

clearArt -> tvshow folder
cdArts -> album folder
music fanart -> artist folder
