Episode banners - high res version?

Jaco2k · September 6th, 2009, 8:13 PM

Hi all,

I am an XBMC user (http://xbmc.org/) and put all my episodes in a server to stream via XBMC.

This smart program can scrape episode information and TV series images + banners, etc - I mostly use the TVDB (http://thetvdb.com/) but the images there are not nearly half as good as the banners you have, namely for Top Gear Australia.

Could you kindly make the high res versions of those banners available?
You can upload them yourselves to TVDB - that site is an open source repository of user created images for TV series that can then be scrapped by any flavour of Media center you choose to use (in my case, XBMC)

Thank you in advance for your interest! images/smilies/smile.gif

Cheers,
J

Hi there,

Couldn't find concrete information appart from this:
http://thetvdb.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Banners

Anyway, and for size reference, this is what is up there now:
Banner:

Background:

Poster:

And this is the actual Top Gear page:

And Top Gear Australia (with lousy pictures):

I noticed the banners aren't too bad, i added a 1920x1080 background which looks decent imo, poster will be hard since there isn't much to work with...

Thanks!

For a banner what I had in mind was a slighty better resolution/tweaked version of this:
