Would it be possible for this view to use banner.jpg instead of folder.jpg? I like to change views every now and then. Would save a lot of file renaming.Smile

that would be against xbmc standards.

wiki Wrote:TV Shows

TV\showfolder\folder.jpg

xbmc just uses folder.jpg no matter if it's a banner or a poster.

i know some skins hack around this and some don't...which only leads to confusion for the end-user.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not PM or e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Isn't there a setting in the Advancedsettings.xml that will enable XBMC to recognize other naming options for thumbs...i.e banner.jpg?

<dvdthumbs>

A list of additional files to try when searching for dvdrom thumbnail images. (The default is folder.jpg which can be removed.)

<dvdthumbs>
<remove>folder.jpg</remove>
<add>thumb.jpg|cover.jpg</add>
</dvdthumbs>

<fanart>

A list of additional files to try when searching for fanart images. (The defaults are fanart.jpg and fanart.png which can be removed.)

<fanart>
<remove>fanart.jpg</remove>
<add>backdrop.jpg</add>
</fanart>
