I tried to read through the previous threads on this issue.

I have a banner.jpg in each of the TV show folders. However, only some of them actually show up on the remote.

I read that it might an issue of not accessing the remote file, so it pulls from XBMC's cache. I use the Transparency skin which uses posters, so if that is true it would make sense that it pulls the poster from cache.

Is there an easy way to load these banner.jpg into xbmc's cache where the remote will then show the right banner.jpg, regardless of it finds it in the remote file location? Confused

Hopefully this makes sense, only other solution seems to be to delete all the banner.jpgs since the inconsistency is the most annoying part Blush

I have the same problem, half of my shows display as banners, the other half as posters, but banner.jpg exists in every folder.

I've tried purging the remote's cache and reloading with the same issue.

I opened all the banner.jpg's right before downloading all the TV Show banners to ensure that none of the drives were spun down (since that was posited as a possible reason). The same problem.

If there could be an option added either to:
1. Never display banners, or
2. Manually download banner.jpg when they fail to load the first time

I'm running XBMC remote on HTC Wildfire to control XBMC 10.1 (default skin Confluence).
I have a folder.jpg (contains banner) each of the TV show folders.
Non of them Banners and Posters for Season show up on the remote, but there is no problem for Movie posters.
How to resolve this issue?

Thanks for any tips

I used to have this issue, but since a reformat of my HTPC it's gone. But I had posters/banner mixed up.

I'd actually like an option to pick Posters over banners as then you can see how many episodes/seasons you have.

Agreed. An "always use X" option would be nice. I too have the same issue of some shows displaying posters (only three out of 30ish shows at this point) and the rest banners. That's using Aeon Nox on 10.1

Don't think Aeon Nox has anything to do with this problem. It's pure XBMC itself
Problem still exist even when I did a complete new install with all the necessary files present.

Did anyone make any progress with this?

I have the same problem with some of my anime. On TVDB they've all got banners but when scraped only half of them show up with banners on the android remote. I also tried manually downloading the banners as suggested.

It's quite annoying, all my movies and TV Shows have downloaded perfectly but there's 10 or so anime series that just won't display with banners.
