Option to download SERIES banners instead of SEASON

[Omertron]

Original issue 955 created by Omertron on 2009-08-28T06:16:04.000Z:

As per issue 711:

Is it possible to have the banner download 'respect' the
"mjb.singleSeriesPage=true" field,
so that it only retrieves series banners as appose to season banners (so no
banners
saying "season 1", "season 2" on there, only the series master)?

Bit of a discussion here:

Thanks!

I can imagine this might be difficult to implement. After all, I don't even think
YAMJ knows to download movie set posters. It would be a nice feature to have though.

Perhaps also adding the ability to grab manually downloaded banners is better suited.

Yep, perhaps so. Stuart mention in 711 that it's currently set up to only download a
series banner if a season banner wasn't available, so I assumed (as I so often do
with very little knowledge :D) that it'd be fairly simple to reverse that logic.
Perhaps not though.

The ability to grab manually downloaded banners would suit me well enough, as I've
tried to replace a few that it couldn't find but with no success.

Shouldn't be too difficult to do.

It will pick up .banner.jpg for SEASON files.

I am assuming what you are asking for here is Set__1.banner.jpg so that
banner is used for a set rather than the first SEASON banner?

Hi Stuart. Yep, I think that'd work nicely. Hopefully EJP (above) can incorporate
that into his skin?

I'd love thing this addition, as I've got a lot of "Season 1" banners instead of the
title of the show.

I've got this to work by manually downloading the Series banner and naming it
Set__1.jpg with the AEON skin, however, YAMJ and AEON doesn't download the
SERIES banner automatically.

Is this something that has to be done in the skin or that YAMJ needs to do?

I think you are misunderstanding this request. This request was to only download
SERIES banners instead of individual SEASON banners for each season of a TV Show.

You are talking about Set Banners, which works as you describe.
