Extra fanart

The Extra Fanart is mostly a slideshow of Fanarts. It is not a native Kodi Feature and suitable skin must be used to implement this. See: Skins

Extra Fanart is stored in a separate Folder named "extrafanart" and each extra Fanart must be named fanartX.jpg where X is a sequential number starting with 1 (fanart1.jpg, fanart2.jpg, fanart3.jpg, etc). The location of the extrafanart Folder depends on the source type (TV or Movies).

In your TV Show Directory Structure create a Folder named extrafanart in TV Show Folder. Put all your extra Fanarts inside of it. Extra Fanart name must be fanartX.jpg where X is sequential number starting with 1. File-ending must be .jpg ?
