Hi, I've reading a lot on clearart trying to make sense of all the posts according to their dates and I'm confused
I created a link in guisettings.xml to a ClearArt folder on my external usb and gave it the path "/Volumes/usbMovies/_TVseries/ClearArt". I've also tried with an additional / at the end. Is this folder supposed to contain folders with the series name and inside that, a file called clearart.png or is it supposed to contain a bunch of .png each having the series name?
I'm pretty sure I tried all possibilities but none seem to work. If Clearart is enabled, nothing shows on pause but if its disabled, I get the episode thumb.
I hope I'm making sense and btw, I use an external usb because both my mac and the appleTV access the media over AFP

At this point I know it is not a skin problem but the only safe way I found to rename the main folder is to "Edit Title" from the on screen menu in library mode, otherwise you are constantly asked whether you want to remove the series from the library and, as I found out, you run the risk of having it deleted altogether.(Hooray for backups)
