Individual Game Posters

[thartmann6]

How does game posters work in NextPVR? The first game I recorded was the Philadelphia and Dallas game. The show poster reflected that game. But when I look at any other subsequent NFL Football games the same poster is used. Can NextPVR use show posters that actually reference the game?

NextPVR doesn't support episode art, Which XMLTV guide source do you use? Not all of them support episode art either.

I'm using an xml file with this example program format. This entry goes to the correct poster for game. <icon src="https://zap2it.tmsimg.com/assets/GNLZZGG00205Q0Q.jpg" />

Yes zap2it has episode art but no series art. I thought you were using the Silicondust guide which uses series art. Either way NextPVR doesn't support it but I am looking at showing something in Kodi if I can do it.

Code:
