Extrathumbs/ExtraFanart

Hi Billy,

One feature that is being implemented in alot of new skins (besides TV show logos) is the ability to scroll through extra fanart images stored with the movie/tv show.

Basically how it works is that the skin will look for a folder called 'extrathumbs' in the root directory of either the movie or TV show, and then have each jpg named as thumb1.jpg, thumb2.jpg, etc.

Here is a sample directory tree:

moviefolder
- movie.avi
- movie.tbn
- fanart.jpg
- extratfanart (folder)
- fanart1.jpg
- fanart2.jpg



tvshowfolder
- folder.jpg
- fanart.jpg
- clearart.png
- logo.png
- extrafanart (Folder)
- fanart1.jpg
- fanart2.jpg
- season 1 (folder)
- season 2 (folder)

i think that this addition, plus the addition of a logo download browser from the below site would make MC perfect

Looks interesting. What are the images in the extrafanart folder? Are they backdrops, or stills from the movie/TV show?

Also: What are fanart1.jpg and fanart2.jpg used for?

Hmm, well first, fanart1 and fanart2 were supposed to be inside the extrafanart folder, but I guess I didn't make that very clear.

I guess you could have the images inside the extra fanart folder be either other fanart images, or screencaps from whatever movie/tv show you are going to watch.

Thanks very much for explaining. Do you know which skins support extrafanart at the moment?

as far as I know just Night and a modded confluence.

There is a new skin called Cirrus which is still in development which I am trying to get the author to add support.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

And, thanks again for taking the time to help me out.
