Theater View background artwork not displaying

(1/3) > >>

JustinChase:
I have some TV series recorded to my server, and when I view "series" in Theater View, I see an image/cover for the series as a whole, for each series.  It seems to be showing the background.jpg image located in the folder that contains all the subfolders for the actual programs.  The only things in the Series folder are background.jpg, series.xml and subfolders for each season.

This was all created/placed here automatically for me by SickBeard.  All good so far.

I have another Series "Formula 1" that does not show a 'series cover' like the others do.  I added a picture called background.jpg (name exactly matches the ones in other folders) to this series folder, but it's not displaying in Theater View.

I'm not sure what else I need to do, or where else I need to copy this image to get it to display for this series in Theater View.  :P

JustinChase:
Does anyone know where i need to put a picture to get it to display as the 'series' cover in Theater View?  it's clearly not where I have it curently

mbagge:
Are there any tags that SickBeard had updated for you, that you should do by hand for your "Formula 1" series ?

JustinChase:
No, sickbeard can't find "Formula 1" in my testing.  I'm just trying to get my already stored collection to show a series cover, but it's clearly not pulling the photo I stored in the folder, so it must be pulling from someplace else.

I'm just curious where it's pulling from, so I can move my picture to that location.

Maybe this is the answer...

But I see there's a Series sub-folder under the Cover Art folder (the location of which you set in Options). I'm sure if you place any image named with a series there, it will be used. As for episode images, I don't expect to see those until a meta data retrieval system is implemented.

The backgrounds would be a completely separate matter, and confusing because Sick Beard and MC getting the same background image from the same source—TVDb.
