Collectorz - Movie Cover Images?

TommySharp · 2008-05-01, 02:49

I'm running MP RC1 with the latest version of MyFilms.

I'm exporting all my movie information out of "Movie Collector" by Collectorz.com.

Everything seems to work great EXCEPT for my movie cover images. No matter what I do they just won't show.

- I've configured the plugin to look in the right place for the images.
- Did a search and replace on my XML file to make sure the paths were correct.

In the XML file the tag for the cover image is...

<coverfront>c:\users\public\collections\mydvds\ima ges\21 Grams.jpg</coverfront>
<coverback>c:\users\public\collections\mydvds\imag es\21 Grams.jpg</coverback>

Does the MyFilms plugin recognise these tags?

I'm not sure you can use both front and back cover in mediaportal, try removing the backcover for one movie and do a new export and try it again.

What version of MyFilms do you use ?
With the latest version (v4.5) you can choose in the setup section (tab DVDProfiler/Movie Collector) which covers you want to see (thumbnails or Images=coverfront).As there is only one field to store Images, coverback is ignored...
With previous versions, only Thumbnails Images are taken into account (tag thumbfilepath) :
<thumbfilepath>C:\users\.......\xxxx.jpg</thumbfilepath>

I'm pretty sure I'm using 4.5....

Although I can't see a "DVDProfiler/Movie Collector" tab at all?

Have attached a screenshot...
