Possible to change default image for missing album covers?

[popechild]

I can't seem to figure out where/how to change the default image that loads for albums that are missing covers. I get the standard blue square, but would rather change it to something more visually appealing.

Any pointers?

Look in C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV3\SageMCE\Themes\Default for the album_empty.jpg. Themes will default to this IF they don't include their own. If you ever use my SageMC Pro theme you will see a different icon. It is actually an empty CD case.

Thanks! I'm using nBlue right now, which actually appears to be using the "generic_album_cover.png" instead of "album_empty" but you still got me pointed in the right direction.

Here's a somewhat related one for you. If I set the display options so that I'm seeing the album cover only and not the artist/album name below the cover, the albums that don't have cover art show the text right in the middle of where the cover would be (and wherever the "generic_album_cover" is). I'd rather not see it there at all, but especially because on most of my albums that are missing covers, the titles stretch off the edges of the generic_album_cover and it looks really bad. You know of any way to prevent it from showing that text - even for albums without a cover? or for it to properly size the text so that at least it fits within the generic cover?

Thanks again.
