My wife mentioned something similar as we were starting to watch a show that was now on about season 3 or 4 and the fanart effectively contained spoilers.

Does anyone know if fanart actually gets tagged with the relevant season (all i can see on thetvdb is a creation date)?

No, thetvdb has only season posters and banners. The fanart is always for the whole show, not specific seasons.

In plex/web you can set a custom background for a season, but i don't know if plexconnect even uses this images.

If you hold down the select button on a TV show or episode then one of the items in the contextual menu is to change fanart (it pulls these from the PMS).

Unfortunately it seems then that this cannot be automatically done for seasons, unless someone knows something different.

Guess we need some more specifics/logs then :)

Oh and reboot the ATV just to make sure the issue doesn't disappear.

Rebooting doesn't work..

What logs or other would you like?

Can you give an example of two shows that have the same fanart, to avoid going through the whole log please?

It only applies to one show so far..

'Whose Line Is it Anyway' has the same fanart as 'Grimm'

Just ran into some more.. 

'The Flash' has 'Stalker' fanart and 'Hawaii Five-0' has 'Haven' fanart.

thanks

From what I saw in the template folder there is no template for the fanart, am I correct?
If there could change the file! 
 
That's the understanding?
 
Sorry for English.

The log shows Background/Fanart just twice, for...

- Whose Line Is It Anyway? Season 10

- Matt Barnes, Episode 20 of the above

How am I supposed to find equal backgrounds, if the second was not touched at all.

Please, delete all jpg files in PlexConnect/assets/fanartcache/, restart PlexConnect, browse to the two shows with identical backgrounds, and repost the log. Thanks.

Hopefully that is what you wanted.. thanks. Side note - in the fanart cache folder the correct fanarts are downloaded..

thanks

Ok, here is the thing:

Interestingly the filename within PMS - the last digits - are duplicate. Our interpretation has been, that those numbers are unique. I will work on a fix, taking the ratingKey (the numbers behind metadata) into account as well...

Should be fixed - grab the latest code and try again. :-)

I'm running PlexConnect directly on my Jailbroken ATV2. Is it possible to install Pillow on the device itself? If so can someone to point me to either instructions or prebuilt pillow binaries that I can use. Thanks!

The problem will not be with Pillow installation but that it requires firmware 6 (iOS 7) for artwork to be available in the Apple firmware so until a jailbreak happens for that or later you will have to live without artwork, if running PlexConnect directly on the device.

On the issue of the current season in fanart, I believe it can add the file "EpisodePrePlay_Fanart.xml" a call to display this information right below the description of the synopsis, as in the following file:

This is possible "Baa" and "f00b4r"?

Fantastic! Well done. It's fixed.

Ahh thanks! I must have missed that.
