Bling - making NextPVR pretty

That must be a TV Listings skin, and that would be the series art for the office not the episode art from the advanced EPG data. That is also fanart not the poster art that imageGrabLite retrieves.

Here's the Default Skin with the poster art. imageGrabLite actually has trouble with "The Office" but that's another story.

Yes, that is the TVListings skin.
And that is the image produced by:
icon src="http://images.windowsmedia.com/tvcards/org/3814_19.jpg"
from the xmltv file generated by MC2XML.
The only other images that appear in my guide were those for only shows that I had recorded in the past using ImageGrab.
And the IG image for "The Office" was the one from Andy's Garden Party.

BTW: ImageGrab hasn't been able to get anything for "The Firm" or "The Finder" any Ideas?

You'd have to ask alibert if he is supporting the icon right from your XMLTV files or if he just happened to use the same image from TheTVDb. That is the wrong episode art for The Convention".

Are you using the latest 2.3.6 versions that use the original_air_date ? If so maybe you need to delete pre 2.3.6. xml files.

I'll look into the imageGrab vers. thanks

But really, alibert and TVlistings have nothing to do with these images.
And as for their accuracy the info is from MS and it has very little detail when it comes to a syndicted re-run. "Workers plod along at a paper company"

MC2XML with images update:

Since my imageGrabLite is inactive (due to upgrade to 2.3.6 I guess) the images from MS are populating my recordings in place of IGL.
So far I've not seen anything to suggest that they are episode specific. They're mostly cast ensemble photos, stills, title graphics or in the case of a movie the cover/poster.

I am not convinced that it isn't either iGL or TV Listings getting those images. Sub hasn't mentioned anything about getting images from the EPG data.

Martin

I am convinced.
I never saw them before using the new grabber AND if I physically disconnect my internet and select a program that I have not yet selected, there is no image but if I re-connect and try again there is an image.
I now wondering where they are stored.
My iGL has no new files scince I upgraded.
I am using xmltvextras.
And after EPG update I must exit and restart NPVR for the features to be seen.(That was the case before as well for the small icons "HD" "16:9" "Dolby" etc.)

Attached you'll find a listings file for only Global good thru Feb 15.
Try it!

[mvallevand]

The small icons are TV Listings so I suspect the other image is too. It still doesn't mean it is using the new URL. iGL and SearchLite can do almost the same thing, without it.
