I think its really cool that when you play audio files in Theater view the background cycles images. However, it seems to be pulling images off of the internet with the same name as the band. So if you listening to "The Church" it will display images of various churches.  Even worse than this, if you are listening to the band Filter, I had it display an image of a coffee filter.  Does anyone know how to fix this??

If you go into the options menu, under theater view, and click the "theme" entry you'll see a context menu that includes an entry that says "online media slideshow."  If you uncheck google image search under that option, you'll see far fewer "off-topic" images  as the other sites are more music specific.

At my house we actually love the google images functionality, and we make a game of trying to find bands that produce goofy images (Grizzly Bear and Health both give great results  ).

Thx for the advice. Now I want to go home and try to see what bands show goofy images. Off hand the only band I can think of is Hole (aka Courtney Love these days).

Go to:
32 bit %SystemDrive%\Program Files\J River\Media Center 19\Data\
64 bit %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 19\Data\
create a new folder named Custom Resources and in that folder create a text file named ArtistSearch.txt and enter the values you require
Example:
Filter
Filter band

Hole
Hole Courtney Love

You might want to have a look at ...\Default Resources\ArtistSearch.txt for a list of what is already there.
If you modify any file in the default resource folder it will be overwritten when you update which is why you need the custom resources folder.

Yeah.  The results from Bright Eyes, though, I find somewhat disturbing.

Just checked, and I see what you mean; Burial can be a little dicey too.

Id imagine Hole Courtney Love could give you interesting background images

Yep.  Seen that many times.
