Is there any way to add artwork to an entire TV season at once?

With music it's easy to add artwork to a whole load of files all at once, but not with TV shows. I haven't been able to find any way to do it, other than one episode at a time. As if this wasn't bad enough, iTunes takes about 30 seconds to add artwork to each file. It's painful.



Does anyone know a way to get around this?



Thanks.

    select all the episodes of that season as one group, then "get info"... there's a tab within that popup window for artwork... add it ... it affects all the episodes you've selected.

    That doesn't work with TV Shows, only with music. The artwork page only displays with a single selection with TV shows...

    No, it DOES work ... I've done it... more than once.

    The "get info" window looks different, but rummage around through the various tabs available, and you'll find the one that shows artwork.

    Just checked again, and it really doesn't work for me. I get tabs for Info, Video, Sorting, and Options. None have any options for artwork.

    That's funny. I get tabs for Summary, Info, Video, sorting, Options, Lyrics and Artwork.

    FWIW, My iTunes behaves like kotatsu's. Select multiple videos and do a get-info, and there is no artwork tab.



    This is on iTunes 8.2.1 on OS X 10.5.8.



    Those who are seeing the artwork tab with multiple videos selected, which iTunes version are you using? Can you post a screen-shot?

    On mine when you select multiple videos, when you're on the "Info" tab there is an "Artwork" pane with a checkbox in the lower right hand corner of that screen.

    And I just dragged a random jpeg onto that pane with multiple videos selected and it changed them all. Oh, and the videos were tagged as "TV shows." This is in 8.2 on 10.5.7.

    Oh now I see it. Wow they really hid that one well. Why it works differently to adding artwork to music I have no idea.



    Thanks for the tip!

    On mine adding art to multiple songs looks the same as adding art to multiple video. Multiple has a whole different layout from single, for whatever reasons.
