Fanart on TV Wall

skunkm0nkee · 2008-09-09, 23:35

I've been thinking about this for a while as quite a few people have issues with the tv test card image on the defaut TV background image (I personally quite like it) so have thought about it a bit and decided to try something.

If a TV show has fanart then why not try and cover up that part of the image with a rotated/shrunken verison of the fanarft image. Been playing about with it a bit today and have come up with the following:

What do people think?

I don't mind that, but I really wish the main content didn't cover up so much of the fanart image. On some fanart you miss a lot of the image behidn the 'black bar'

so when will it be implemented?

What does it look like applied to the screen only instead of the wall?

You can already do that in v0.90 by enabling the Show Fanart in TV Show List option?

Doh! I get you, not your screen, the screen in the image right? Doesn't look good as it's very hard to get a rotation that fits the angles of that screen and also that area is not suitable for a widescreen image

Sorry if I wasn't clear but I meant the projector screen.

Can XBMC distort images like that?

**jmarshall** · 2008-09-10, 02:10

Yes, if you get the angle and perspective right. It's tricky though!

I also love the existing one (remember seeing it years ago when the TV stopped at night

)

But that new thing is very cool

, especially if it could be done similar to Hitchers pic.
If you go with it, and proves popular would you consider adopting something similar in the other views?

Nice!
