Is there a way to have the thumbnail in the recordings view, I tried dumping them in a directory and map it in the setting but it does not seem to work.
Is there support for fanart? It's easy to add plug in on the tvserver to create Thumbnail and fanart (Full size Screen shot), I just need to know how to name them and where to put them.
thank's

The XBMC PVR API does not have the possibility to pass a thumbnail to XBMC at the moment.
The recording view shows the contents of a virtual PVR recording filesystem and there is no support for thumbnails yet for this view as far as I know...

Will this feature be added in the future? I'm talking about a strIconPath member for recordings just like for channels.

This thread is quite old - is there now a way to show thumbs of the recordings with the current versions?

for add-ons that provide links to local (to the machine) files, yes. for others, no.

Found a problem with PVR? Report it on Trac, under "PVR - core components". Please attach the full debug log.

The MediaPortal PVR addon uses local links when the backend is on the same machine, so in that case the recordings should show thumbnails.
Besides this, I'm currently extending the TVServerXBMC plugin to download the recording thumbs (and channel thumbs) from the backend (if not found locally).

Hi margro, is this feature (if backend is on another machine) implemented in the current version?
If yes, could you give me some information if there is something to configure for using it?

@schaussi: it is partly implemented in my local development version (not released yet), but it needs some further debugging on the binary data transfer. I've seen multple times corrupt thumbnails after downloading and addon crashes, so it is clearly not ready yet.

for movie and tv show recordings kodi should use library scanning, add metadata and put them into the library.

also when i am using the mediaportal pvr extension?
Its clear to me that when ill add the share of the recordings to kodi that i will create library thumbs, but does it work with the PVR addin on the recordings page?
(like it works in Mediaportal).
thx

Yea - I cant get this to work...
is it possible to grab a thumbnail directly from the recording?

The thumbnails are generated by the tv server after the recording has finished.
Ill think just the transfer is missing in the mediaportal plugin.

Can you get Kodi to display the thumbnails?
