Missing Fanart View?

[wrems]

We have a view for missing metadata. How about a view that tracks down content that is missing fanart elements?

I thought this could be done with PQL but no go. It’s easy to tell if a poster is missing with a cursory glance, on the other hand, it’s not as easy to discern those media files missing backgrounds.

Missing Fanart is actually pretty tricky when you think about the possible scenarios. I've thought about this before, and I think this is something that would require a custom class and accept <option> elements to filter and pass args.

For example, you might want missing anything (no posters, no banners, no backgrounds, no episodes)... or you might just want to know which ones are missing backgrounds only, etc.

Also when you get into TV, it's even trickier because you might what to know which ones are missing season specific banners, get calls to GetBanners would still return the series banner when the season banner is missing.

So, it's a little complicated, but someday, when I'm less busy (or someday when we release phoenix, other devs can add in different vfs views, sources, filters, etc)
