XRecord won't show a poster

Wakalaka · 2007-03-01, 08:41 AM

All of my other posters are displayed, but for some reason the poster for America's Next Top Model won't display. My noposter.jpg is displayed, meaning it can't find "America's Next Top Model.jpg". Is it because the show has an ' in the name? None of my other shows do, and their posters are displayed.

The following special characters are deleted from the poster filename so in your case "Americas Next Top Model.jpg" should work.

/, \, : , ?, ", <, >, |, ', Â´, `, *

It worked great! Windows doesn't allow \ / : * ? " < > |, why do you also not allow ' `?

Made XRecord crash when I selected Pending. I didn't have noposter.jpg in the art folder. Any way to display a default icon even if it's not present? How about configuring the path to where the art is located? XRecord is #2 on my list to help with programming. I'm writing my own simple plugin first to get familiar with things.

I'm helping in maintenance but I didn't write the code so I don't why those characters are removed. You can log a bug about the noposter crash but it will be a low priority since there are probably many ways you can crash it by deleting various files. I've heard other people make requests about making the poster directory configurable and also about more skinnable stuff. I'm a vanilla blue skin pvr type so I'd rather fix broken features first.

As of XRecord 0.50, the crash when noposter.gif is missing is fixed. Nothing will be draw as a replacement however.
