Night - 1.4.7 -Release/General Discussion

i used notepad++ and find in files for <label> and copied the result i could spot that had hardcoded strings. i would just try to make it a general coding habit to use strings.xml for labels. makes it easier when putting the file out to the public.

So the extrafanart when enabled... Will it only use the fanart in the extrafanart folder or will it also use the fanart in the movie folder itself as well?

Asking because it I want my default fanart for a movie to be in the rotation does it also need to be in the extrafanart folder as well?

Either/or...You can have just 1 movie with extarfanart and the rest will use the default fanart.

Not sure if you already put it back, but on the previous release, the first Button (from the left) when displaying the Menu, was mapped to the Settings screen, you may want to map it back to the Subtitle Download Script

Thanks.. for clarification, for a movie that is using extrafanart... will the fanart in the movie folder itself also be used in conjunction with the fanart in the extrafanart folder?

If you want it as part of the cycling fanart then put it in the extarfanart folder also...

I'm writing a fanart fetcher for TMDB and would like to know the file/folder structure for extrafanart detection for movies. I know that you can have each movie in its own folder with the extrafanart folder in each. Is it possible to have all movies in one folder with an extrafanart folder containing extra art for all movies in the root folder?

It would be great if your skin could detect fanart from a structure like:

Code:

|--moviefolder
   |--movie1.mkv
   |--movie2.mkv
   |--extrafanart
      |--movie1-fanart1.mkv
      |--movie1-fanart2.mkv
      |--movie1-fanart1.mkv
      |--movie2-fanart2.mkv

This would actually result in issues from most scripts and skins. Most skins expect:

As GJones mentioned, this would create all kinds of headaches in the end. Best practice is to have each movie in its own folder.

Thanks for the feedback. I've updated my script to use the standard naming scheme.
