HOW-TO:Change the episode thumbnail in Confluence

This tutorial will show how to change the episode thumbnail on the Info screen I, OSD M and Home (when playing/paused). This is achieved by editing VideoFullScreen.xml. You'd want to do this because sometimes the thumbnails contain spoilers.

Changing the episode thumbnail to a TV Show poster on OSD & Info screen

• 

  Original OSD

• 

  MOD

A. Open the file VideoFullScreen.xml and find the following code. It's easiest found by searching for [VideoPlayer.Content(Movies) | VideoPlayer.Content(LiveTV)]

<control type="image" id="1"><br />
    <description>cover image</description>
    <left>20</left>
    <top>260r</top>
    <width>300</width>
    <height>230</height>
    <texture fallback="DefaultVideoCover.png">$INFO[Player.Art(thumb)]</texture>
    <aspectratio aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
    <bordertexture border="8">ThumbShadow.png</bordertexture>
    <bordersize>8</bordersize>
    <visible>![VideoPlayer.Content(Movies) | VideoPlayer.Content(LiveTV)]</visible>
</control

B. Replace $INFO[Player.Art(thumb)] with $INFO[Player.Art(tvshow.poster)]
This changes the episode thumbnail to a TV Show poster.

C. Change:
<top>260r</top> to <top>350r</top>
<height>230</height> to <height>330</height>
This will make the TV Show poster the same size as movie posters.
