A cover image is in the directory or overlay, like movie.jpg or
folder.jpg. It can also be inside an mp3 file. An an image and a movie
have image data in them. These are sources for thumnails. The thumnail
itself goes to ~/.thumbnails. You should _never_ copy anything
yourself into that dir.
That means in terms of imdb or thetvdb: we have to copy covers
somewhere, maybe into the overlay. For thetvdb a special hidden dir
inside ~/.beacon for all shows may be a good idea.
~/.beacon/overlay right now the overlays are dumped
into the main beacon dir but that
has to change
~/.beacon/tvdb metadata info for tv shows, like:
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/guide.xml basic info
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/banner.png banner image
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/bg.png big background
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/cover.png cover image
~/.beacon/tvdb/lost/ep01x01.png screenshot from Lost 1x01
Maybe we can do the same for IMDB? Beacon will check this files and
use some sort of kaa.webinfo to keep it up-to-date.
