Default Select backdrop from local hard drive for offline media: Is it possible ?

Hi,

First, congratulations and thanks for this amazing plugin.
One of the most appreciated features for me is the ability to insert a Blu Ray and have the program automatically find data and add the disc to the library.

Yet, sometimes I want to use my own poster and backdrop for some blurays.
It works fine for posters, since I can select poster from file, but I can't find how to do this for the backdrop picture.
Is it possible at all ?
I would like to select a backdrop picture for my offline Blu ray from a folder on my hard disk.

Sorry if this has been already asked and answered before.

Thanks for your help,

PierreLo

Hi PierreLo, you can set a custom backdrop path by editing the 'Backdrop path' in the Movie Manger.

1. Select you movie in the Movie Manager
2. Select the field 'Backdrop Path' from the Movie Details section on the right hand side.
3. Type in the path to your backdrop.

Thanks to all for your answers.
I didn't notice this field in the movie description.

Using the path will be fine for me for the moment (I only need this for a few movies).
(of course, being able to browse for the backdrop will be even better )
