- I get a poster on the TV Show (instead of a banner)
- It's the same poster from "all seasons"
- The individual seasons does not get a poster

Figured out what I needed to do to fix this problem on XBMC Live 9.11. It was all a matter of file permissions! (insert face palm here) I exited the gui and did the following:

Logged in at the terminal prompt.
typed:
Code:
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/xbmc/system/scrapers/video/tvdb.xml
I did this to give me full read/ write permissions for this file.

I then went over to my desktop and logged into my XBMC box with filezilla, and navigated to /usr/share/xbmc/system/scrapers/video. I then copied it from my XBMC box to my desktop. I opened the tvdb.xml file in my xml editor (OpenOffice Writer). I searched for the following:
Code:
<RegExp input="$$5" output="&lt;thumb type=
Once I found that line, I replaced it with the following:
Code:
<RegExp input="$$5" output="&lt;thumb type=&quot;season&quot; season=&quot;\2&quot;&gt;http://thetvdb.com/banners/\1&lt;/thumb&gt;" dest="4+">
    <expression repeat="yes">&lt;BannerPath&gt;([^&lt;]*)&lt;/BannerPath&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;BannerType&gt;season&lt;/BannerType&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;BannerType2&gt;season&lt;/BannerType2&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;Language&gt;$INFO[language]&lt;/Language&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;Rating&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;/Rating&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;RatingCount&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;/RatingCount&gt;[^&lt;]*&lt;Season&gt;([0-9]+)&lt;/Season&gt;</expression>
I then saved the resulting xml file, and uploaded back to my XBMC box and having it replace the existing file.
I got both pieces of data from post #18 of this thread.

Now, I went back to my XBMC box and typed:
Code:
sudo chmod 645 /usr/share/xbmc/system/scrapers/video/tvdb.xml
This changed the permissions on that file back to the default. Rebooted the machine.

Now every TV Show scrapes like it did before.

Thanks for all the advice I got from you all. I hope this will help someone else down the road.

This is not fixed in beta 3. Very serious bug imo!

EDIT:
Ok here's the state of it for beta 3.

For a brand new season:
Works 100%

Refreshing a season that has banner:
Won't change to poster

Refreshing entire show:
Changes season to poster
Banner show image to banner

....fail?

Still need help with this. I ended up locating and deleting tvdb.xml. I was going to replace it with the one downloaded. But I realized I am not sure how to replace the file since the folder has write protection. How would I override this?
