Episode Image Extraction

Hey Guys,

 

XBMC looks for episode images in the season folders along-side the episode, eg:

 

S01E01 - Pilot.mp4

S01E01 - Pilot.nfo

S01E01 - Pilot-thumb.jpg

 

I know MBS has the ability to extract episode images, but I am wondering if there is any way to have MBS put them into the season folder in the XBMC format of: S01E01 - Pilot-thumb.jpg

 

So far I still rely on Metabrowser for episode image extraction and Actor images (locally to series folder) So I am very keen to know if these features are on the cards at all so I can make the switch to MBS completely.

 

Thanks guys, again awesome work with MBS.

yes if you use the xbmc image saving convention, which is the default, then that's where episode images will get saved.

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I've double checked all my settings and everything is set correctly for XBMC saving, including the tickbox for image extraction. As a test I loaded up a show that definitely has no episode thumb on thetvdb.com, removed the metadata and artwork, and re-scanned it. I did a refresh on the show and a full library scan. All the rest of the metadata loaded perfectly in an XBMC compatible format, but MBS still didn't extract any episode images to the season folder.

MBS never saved extracted images in the local media folders. They only saved in \extracted-video-images folder. It's by design.
