I agree! MP should only connect to imddb/ofdb on request. At the moment MP connects on every ditail view
I also prefer to define local coverart. At the moment i don't know which picture is taken to display. Folder.jpg seams not to work for my movies. if i name the coverart to the name of the movie filename also nothing happens. But i saw coverart with movie filename in the thumbs folder...
why can't i use the link to a file instead of on http adress? I don't like tracking by foreign sites in the web when i'am using mp oder browsing the database in the setup tool....
