fanart.tv Support
Although thetvdb abd moviedb works, fanart.tv provides much better artwork for TV, Movies and Music. They provide free API, XBMC support it.
One big advantage is Movie thumbnails, most dlna devices display thumbnail in letterbox shape for video. fanart.tv has a growing and variety of images to view
Example with Star Trek Into Darkness Current Serviio with get this image from themoviedb - http://d3gtl9l2a4fn1j.cloudfront.net/t/p/original/1p7FLAqsH5m53m1LU4avblSqON9.jpg This will show in very mini image in the letterbox shape on my Bravia TV Where as with fanart.tv (http://fanart.tv/movie/54138/star-trek-2/) can get this image - http://fanart.tv/fanart/movies/54138/moviethumb/star-trek-2-51461997f0a08.jpg This fits perfectly in the letterbox thumbnail
Another cool example with Series Folder is the TV images they have For example Game of Thrones (http://fanart.tv/series/121361/game-of-thrones/) can show this image - http://fanart.tv/fanart/tv/121361/tvthumb/game-of-thrones-4fd70d367aeab.jpg Perfectly fitting the letterbox again.
Even cooler when browsing through Series, when choosing Seasons, thumbnail folders can these images - Season 1 - http://fanart.tv/fanart/tv/121361/seasonthumb/game-of-thrones-4fa76e30ede69.jpg Season 2 - http://fanart.tv/fanart/tv/121361/seasonthumb/game-of-thrones-4fa76e5445d21.jpg
