Title: Will MC11 include cover art for tv channels?
Post by: zhuqingsi on November 14, 2004, 01:17:10 am
The theater mode is awesome! but is there a way to add logos to tv channels just like cover art for music, so that you can see them under theater mode instead of the '?' picture?

Will MC11 include this feature?

I support this request. 
JRiver, you can't release MC 11 with questionmarks in Theater view when watching TV.

Is nobody (including JRiver) interested in this topic?

The following won't help as far as cover art for each channel, but you won't have to look at that question mark all the time. This will change the "?" for all missing cover art to any cover art you choose. I have done this in each version thru v10. I don't have v11 installed at the moment, but it should work the same.

In MC10, I changed the "?" to art of my own choosing. In MC 10>Fullskins>Hairstyle>List, I first renamed the original "?" by adding a "1" to the filename: "NoThumb1.png". Then renamed my cover art to: "NoThumb.png". I did this for each of the Theater View skins.

The same can be done with Standard View (Default Art) except that the file name is: "NoThumb.bmp".

Thanks, but in my opinion that's not how you should have to handle with a (nearly) release version of a splendid piece of software.
