[QUOTE="arctork, post: 647336, member: 106365"] Hi, I just installed Media Portal, this would be my first attempt at all this. When you say point the output path to your thumbs/clearart folder ... Where should this folder already be? I couldn't find it. Is it under Program files? Also the reason I chose X-Factor as my first skin is because I saw these videos ... of this guy's setup.
