[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 850078, member: 27204"] Yeah - the main reason AMCUpdater was created a few years ago was because the batch importing/updating in AMC was not so great. So in MyFilms 5 Guzzi integrated it (although it is still a 'separate' Windows app which is why you can use it anywhere). However, you SHOULD be able to add your own pics without using AMC. If you post the MyFilms.log file (see [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Support']Support[/URL] Wiki page for details) that might give us a clue why it is not working for you. I don't know for sure why your cover art is corrupt but I suspect a grabber script issue (you are using v5.1 right?) as I know there have been changes. z3us posted an updated version for IMDB in the [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/amc-updater-issues-grouping-covers.104155/#post827505']AMC Updater Issues: Grouping & Covers thread[/URL]. But I am not sure if that would be the cause of corrupt images - Guzzi will have to answer that one! About your Titles - you know there is a feature in AMC to 'format' titles? In Preferences you can choose to display prefixes at the end for example - so The Last Airbender becomes 'Last Airbender, The' - Then in My Films set your Master Title (and sort Titles) to Formatted Title.
