Series poster

Hello!

I know its possible to get the URL to an imdb series showicon by using <icon>'mdb-showicon'</icon>. However that picture is often missing for new series episodes and wont get added until long thererafter. Besides imdb uses strange variating aspect ratios on these pictures when they are finally added. Im more interested in getting the URL to the series poster instead which can be used nicely in many GUIs. Perhaps by using <icon>'mdb-seriesicon'</icon>. So this is a request for that.

Yeah, kind of, but it would be nice to have the opportunity to scrub both, in other words keep mdb_showicon.scrub as is and add a new scrubline for series iconsmiley Dont know if both can share the same <Icon> tag though. If both are scrubbed it would be nice to be abled to separate them somehow by attribute.

Hmm...cut&paste feature on this site does not work alright cuz the pasted result does not look like what i actually pasted insad  WG++ site is mysteriously adding things.

Hi. 

Finally solved this one. It was very easy since Jan already done it for movie icons. Just took some studying and users are now abled to choose to scrub series episode icons/image (default) or, as I prefer it, scrub the series icon/poster instead.  

Best regards
