Sorry but I honestly did not know where to put this, hopefully it is in the right place.
First off I use Ember all the time to scrape, so fantastic job.
Buttt.....
I am not sure if there is a solution to problem and if so, would it have to be Ember or XBMC that needs changing?
*** Problem ***
A lot of skins have different views, and some look better than others with certain types of art work.
Say for example Skin Alpha looks crap using Poster view, but excellent using Banner view.
Skin Delta looks excellent using Poster view, but crap using Banner view
Obviously you can scrape for a poster and an all seasons poster, but you cannot scrape for a banner.
When you change views from say cover flow to banners it uses that one single image that you have scraped rather than saying, ok I know this image is a poster as it is 100 x 100 rather than 600 x 300 for a banner.
So literally when a new skin comes out, if you have scrapped all posters, rather than banners, and posters look crap on that skin, then you have to update all of XBMC again just to make those changes to get the view that you really like.
Does anyone know if there are plans on Ember being able to scrape both poster and banner and more importantly if this will ever be implimented in XBMC at all?
