TV Shows: mixed display of banners/posters

I'm also having this problem. It's not that I hate either one, but I prefer banners on the phone, they look much better. banner.jpg and poster.jpg exist in all folders, and XBMC itself doesn't have any problems using either, so I'm just not sure what's going on. Anybody have any suggestions?

Well XBMC only stores one thumbnail and that is the one used by the android remote. The fact that you use skins that support a myriad of different image types like banners, posters, clearart, logo by using skin hacks does not mean that XBMC stores all those images (that's why it's called "skin hack") and therefore they are not directly available to the android remote.

I'm also having this problem. Is there any solution?

Hey guys,

wow this problem is unsolved for a long time and I was hoping to find a solution. I know this is for Android users but I couldn't find a thread for iOS users so I'm posting in here ;-)

I'm running XBMC 12RC3 on a MacMini and using the official remote on my iPhone4. This far everything's running perfect! In XBMC I set up my TV Shows to InfoWall with Logos! But I still downloaded all the banners, posters, ClearArt etc. manually in XBMC via Info/artwork...

So if I'm using the remote in the tv show section there's a weird thing going on. Some days it shows me the posters (with the info next to it just like the movie section) but most days it just creates a banner out of the posters.
I tried like every setting in Aeon Nox. Changed all the viewtype settings etc. Nothing! It usually always appears with this annoying poster banners or what ever I should call them...

If I would delete every banner would I get only posters on my remote? Is there a possibility for a remote update covering this long term issue?

I really appreciate the work everyone is doing and I love XBMC ... I'd never change but this problem is known for 2 years now and not even an answer by someone who knows about this kind of stuff?

Please help us, I'm sure there are a lot more people out there with the same problem!

Cheers

P.S.: Hi Montellese, what is a skin hack? I don't really understand programing terms ... sorry for that! But if I get it right it means that even if I "downloaded" the banners, posters etc. it doesn't actually mean they're on my HDD? So why can't we change that so every image is saved serperated on the HDD. A couple of hundret jpeg's shouldn't fill up my hard drive in these days... and my remote would work perfectly. Or did I get it wrong? Otherwise, why is there no option in the remote app so I can decide what viewtype setting I prefer?! ...

P.S.S.: Using an unofficial remote (XBMoteC) I don't have the problem! The app is by far not as good an nice looking but it does pick the posters right away. No banner problems at all!

Thanks for any help / suggestions.

Still nothing? This is btw definately a XBMC problem ... not an app failure! I downloaded XBMC Commander and got exactly the same problem over there!

So why can't XBMC tell my app to use banners or posters but not posters as banners?

Anyone here who wants to help out? Can I change a setting or what ever to solve it myself?

Every tip is appreciated!
