Recently I have been working on a new idea for a search engine to scrape artwork for TV shows from multiple sources into one easy to find place. Within a week I had came up with FanPics.tv and coded a fully functioning TvShow FanArt Search Engine.

This is a recent project which I have spent most time thinking about and planning up until the frantic week long coding session to get it out there. The idea behind it is to allow users to obtain artwork for TV Shows they own within media centre software such as XBMC (Xbox media centre). The XBMC Media centre software allows you to set artwork manually for each show such as banners, logos and fanart but can be a rather tedious task to trawl multiple popular websites looking for the art you want. FanPics.tv to the rescue!. It scrapes artwork from multiple popular fanart databases and displays them in one easy to see place ready for you to browse and download as you see fit.

For the inner nerd keep reading for more technical information about the website… This websites interface and main workings have been built with a firm solid structure of jQuery and AJAX interfacing with a PHP backend. It does quite alot of work behind the scenes with searching for your requested show and pulling artwork from multiple different Public databases. All of this is done to make your life easier when looking for artwork and give you the option to get it all from one website in a few clicks.

Save your time searching for artwork and visit FanPics.tv now.
