Sapphire Browser

This applies to users running Sapphire Beta 4.1 and later. If you have previously ran the import tools in an older version of Sapphire, you will need to use the Mark Menu to “Mark All to Refetch TV Data” and/or “Mark All to Refetch Movie Data” respectively. This will force Sapphire to build the Collection Art directories and populate them with episode art and movie posters.

Once you have ran the TV Show and Movie importers (or used “Import All Data”) you will be able to find a directory called “Collection Art” inside “~/Library/Application Support/Sapphire/” folder. This is where all of your cover art will be stored. Inside these folders is where you will want to place your cover art (cover.ext) images for your TV Shows.

Inside the Collection Art folder you will find the following directory structure:

/Collection Art/

• @MOVIES
  • movie posters (movie_file_name.ext).
• @TV
  • Show Name
    • Season #
      • episode art (tv_episode_name.ext)

• If you want a an image to display for all seasons of a show you will place it inside the “Show Name” directory. For Example: “~/Library/Application Support/Sapphire/Collection Art/@TV/Pushing Daisies/cover.jpg”.
  
• If you would like each season to have a unique image you would place each image inside the “Season #” directory. For Example: “~/Library/Application Support/Sapphire/Collection Art/@TV/Doctor Who (2005)/Season 1/cover.jpg”.

If we had the following setup for a given TV Show:

1. “/Collection Art/@TV/Show Name/cover.ext”
2. “/Collection Art/@TV/Show Name/Season 1/cover.ext”
3. “/Collection Art/@TV/Show Name/Season 2/”
4. “/Collection Art/@TV/Show Name/Season 3/cover.ext”
5. “/Collection Art/@TV/Show Name/Season4/cover.ext”
6. “/Collection Art/@TV/Show Name/Season 5/“

• The Show Name Virtual Directory would display the image at path (1).
• Seasons 2 and 5 would also display the image at path (1).
• Season 1 would display the image at path (2).
• Season 3 would display the image at path (3).
• Season 4 would display the image at path (4).
