Support for "Spine Art" images
posted by trusseloSTAFFMOD on September 11, 2013 at 9:10 PM
I would like to suggest adding image uploading for "Spine art" of DVD Cases. for an example of spine art, see here ( http://hkfanatic.com/jet/movies/o/images/one_dvd_spine.jpg )
It has been discussed at Media Browser forums, that Spine art would be a nice new feature but there is no repository of spine art for movies. Similar things have been done on other home theater PC machines, tediously by very dedicated single people for their personal computers using a lot of time searching and scanning editing and cropping.
Allowing Spine art on the site would give a proper outlet for these people to share their hard work, and easily allow others to get the images for themselves for their own collection.
It would be nice to load up your movie collection on your computer and see this http://i.stack.imgur.com/pVyq8.png

Hey guys,
I'm in the middle of some fairly huge feature work and won't have time to look into anything like this for a few months. In the meantime, I've created a new ticket and will look into this when I have some time.

Spine art is relatively pointless because it's just a set section of the actual DVD/Blu-ray cover. Actual cover art with the front, back, and spine is useful. A media center program could use this and divide the image automatically by percentage of width for a 'spine' theme.
Adding a separate section for full covers in addition to the existing Posters is not a bad idea.
