hi,
don't know if it will help, but i'll soon pull a new version of logo
downloader which support poster and banner from the tvdb and support custom
naming.
this will populate your tv show folders with banner.jpg / poster.jpg etc...
in one shot.
this will make easier for end user to get all this kind of varieties
necessary for aeon.
