Recording thumbs are replaces by fanart in Listview #143

Closed Joostzilla closed 6 years ago

Joostzilla commented 6 years ago

In Recordings listview the scraped thumbs are replaced by fanart thumbs. When looking through other views the scaped images are there.

This discrepancy exists because in list view the fanart is pulled in by the Skin Helper add-on's PVR scraper and stored in a property that, due to Kodi limitations, can only be rendered outside of the actual list control. In other words, in views where the image control is part of the scrollable list itself, the artwork cannot be shown.

So that's basically a bad thing! It would be better if the actual episode thumbs would show in List view.

I guess i will browse recordings only in big list view then :-)

jeroenpardon commented 6 years ago

A way to remedy this would be to have a skin setting that disables the PVR artwork scraper. That would mean it'll be disabled everywhere though, not just for recordings.

Joostzilla commented 6 years ago

The recording thumbs are created by my dvblink tvserver. These are actual recorded frames. The scraped art is just a general image of the recorded programme. So not of the actual recording. Disabling art scraping would be no problem for me but as i understand not all tvserver backends support recording frames
