I was asked by a Client today why JRiver does not automatically add season level CoverArt for TVShows when fetching metadata, I couldn't answer them as I didn't know. I can't think of any reason why MC would not do this other than it has been overlooked?

It's been requested previously, and I'll repeat my request for having this feature. I've manually updated some Season artwork, and it looks much nicer when browsing, but I just don't have the time to do all this manually for all my shows, so automatic creation would be most welcome.

You know what would be really cool?
Automatic Season Level CoverArt for TV Shows.

Yes.. that would take one more manual step of the process. I guess the difficult part would be MC selecting the correct cover image.

How do you do it manually? Do you create a Season folder and put the artwork in there, like the Series folder?

Pretty much, which is what I have had to do for over 100 Seasons of various shows for a client today.
Details on the wiki.

I find it astonishing that this has to be done manually

Ooh, I missed that one, I didn't know it already handled Season art, thank you! In which case, I add a +1 to this request!

Would be nice if it just grabbed the first Season Banner similar to way it currently just grabs the first Series Poster from TVDB. You could always go in and change it later if you prefer a different one, but it would at least get you started automatically.

Yes... that would suffice...

I think most folk would be very happy with that, I certainly would be

The way I see it, it should automatically grab the first, and then offer an option to manually pick one with the Get Cover Art function, like with Series-level artwork today.

Its certainly a feature i want to build, however I cannot promise a timeframe yet.

That would be ideal Hendrik

Yea. I really, really hope this is implemented soon as well. I was a bit surprised that it was not added with the other meta data once JRiver supported the season art. It's freely available on the tvdb site after all.

NNTK · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2013, 11:20:20 am »

I'm waiting this Feature too.

RussellS · « **Reply #14 on:** December 22, 2013, 04:48:44 am »

I have voiced my support for this feature on a few occasions over the last year and I was really hopeful that it might appear in MC19 but alas no.

Hopefully it will appear soon. It is posts such as this one requesting such features that keep reminding the developers of what we would like to see added and may move it up the list of forthcoming developments.

Bump. Maybe we all get a Christmas/holiday/New Year prezzie from JRiver?

Hendrik · « **Reply #16 on:** December 22, 2013, 08:34:23 pm »

Its not forgotten, since I have a personal desire to get this feature, it may as well be among the first few I work on.

However, that means it'll still be a few weeks, at least.

A Valentine's present to us? You're so sweet, JRiver, but let's just be friends.

That's great news!! I'm really looking forward to this becoming a reality. I've avoided doing this manually for over a year now, in the hopes it would get automated.

I'm really excited to see what Nevcariel can/will do with MC once he (you) learns the source code intimately, and is turned loose to start doing the things he's most interested in.

Hendrik · « **Reply #19 on:** January 02, 2014, 03:41:25 am »

I decided to make it a delayed New Years present, why wait until February? Everyone wants the goodies right away!
So stay tuned for the next builds, as the feature may just show up.
