Hi,
I've been working on setting up xml entries for some series that aren't in the database for my own use.
I've found that the series.xml banner tag reads properly and finds the thumbnail image I want to use overall for a series, but if I use the filename tag in episode xmls (for individual episode thumbnails) it appears to find those (as the episode no longer uses the series thumbnail) but fail to parse them correctly (as the episode will now get a generated thumbnail instead).
Does Mezzmo not support individual episode thumbnails, or have I misparsed them somehow?
For reference, this is the pattern I'd use for both the series.xml and episode.xml, files located in the same folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Series>
<language>en</language>
<SeriesName>SeriesName</SeriesName>
<banner>metadata/01.jpg</banner>
<Overview>Series Description</Overview>
</Series>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Episode>
<Language>en</Language>
<SeasonNumber>1</SeasonNumber>
<EpisodeNumber>1</EpisodeNumber>
<EpisodeName>Ep 1 name</EpisodeName>
<filename>metadata/01.jpg</filename>
</Episode>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Episode>
<Language>en</Language>
<SeasonNumber>1</SeasonNumber>
<EpisodeNumber>2</EpisodeNumber>
<EpisodeName>Ep 2 name</EpisodeName>
<filename>metadata/02.jpg</filename>
</Episode>
For this test, I only made episode xml files for episode 1 and 2. With this setup, all the episodes in the folder/series except for episodes 1 and 2 get the artwork in series.xml, while episodes 1 and 2 fail to retrieve theirs and instead auto-generate thumbnails from their video files.
What am I missing?
