How mediaportal handle multiple cds movies?

Hi,

I do not fully understand your question. Do you mean multiple movie files on HD or really multiple CDs?

If you want something like stacking in the first case. Just name your files like this:
movie-CD1.avi
movie-CD2.avi

And the movie will be shown as one file...

Hi,

1) no sorry. The naming convention of MP is limited / strict. You have to stay as I mentioned.

2) Yeah, the picture lookup of MP is currently restricted to english amazon. Therefor the lookup for other languages is often wrong. Not much you can do against it. You may place your own coverarts in the directories. You can edit the DB entries within Configure->Movies->Database. Or do some coding.

3) Your question would have been better placed in the support section.
