Hi!

Is it possible to use a season cover only for the show- and the season-folder?
TV-Shows would be much clearer if episodes would use the "episode image" (like thetvdb..).



Best regards from Austria,
Daniel

Mezzmo v5.x does search for season covers from www.thetvdb.com and, when they exist, it uses them for the TV series active playlist's season 1, 2, 3, etc.

For episodes, Mezzmo does not currently use thetvdb.com's episode image (which seems to be a frame grab from the episode itself). You would like this instead of the TV series poster?

Right Paul! I think that would look much better than the same cover for all episodes:

Gack!!!! No. Nothing looks more random and cluttered than a list full of random screenshots in your face.

I´m not sure smitbret.. It doesn't look so bad on my 2nd DLNA server (the one with the yellow icon :-)):

There's no clear winner in either a frame grab from the episode or a TV series poster. Both have positives and negatives and it comes down to personal taste. So, we'll think about adding a setting into Mezzmo so you can choose the style you like.
