Are genre images possible ?
« on: November 18, 2013, 10:50:06 am »

Is it possible to have standard cover art for a specific (movie) genre ?  (so like movie posters)

I am already using Cover art for Series, Seasons, Artists, etc. in my web application.

 I found some examples of movie posters for genres here :

I now solved this by changing my web application to substitute genre images, rather than use the image generated by media center....

I''m not sure what you are asking?

in my web application I call this web service

MCWS/v1/Browse/Children?ID="+ID.ToString() + "&Skip=1

which returns an image URL (see first post)

Now, When ID = 0 (top level) I don't use the image returned by the MCWS function anymore but use a image with the genre name instead

item.ImageURL = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute("~/Content/img/genre/"+item.Name+".jpg"); (see last post)
