I PMd you the xmltv which will work for www, its somewhat large.

I've re-enabled that xmltv artwork code to check it, and I have to say I'm not that impressed with the artwork it's supplying. Quite a few are just a random screen grab. We get much better artwork for these shows from the other sources.

Would SD's art be different? I thought zap2it and SD used same art?

Most entertainment shows seem to be a random screen grab from the show, usually not with the main characters, and no text.

The gameshow / news shows are slightly better, and often feature a logo etc.

Would SD's art be different? I thought zap2it and SD used same art?

Yes, SD's artwork is much better. I get like 20 images for each show, and I can choose the best images from them.

Here is the art they used for the first shows I clicked on. You couldn't recognize most of those as being from the show.

Here a video of some poster art within Plex, grabbed from zap2it. Ya, I see what you are saying, some are tight screens of main actor(s).

For some reason, NextPVR is not grabbing any art from SD, the only art saved/displayed is from fanart.tv or tvmaze.com.

Here is the artwork we get from SD for a pile of those same shows. You'll see they're proper posters, with logos etc.

Most of the shows you clicked on in that video were talk/news shows, and these posters weren't too bad. The few entertainment shows you click on showed the rubbish still frames (family guy etc).

For some reason, NextPVR is not grabbing any art from SD, the only art saved/displayed is from fanart.tv or tvmaze.com.

If you can supply a set of logs, showing the startup of NextPVR, I'll check why. (it'll probably be tomorrow at this stage though)

Ya, I see what you are saying, some are tight screens of main actor(s).

Honestly, most of them aren't even a main actor. For 'Friends' it's a picture of Brad Pitt, who was only on a 1 episode. 'House' was a picture of a sick patient. '2 Broke Girls' I never remember seeing that guy.

Is there anything from within my log to show where the error is with SD?
