Backdrop not showing up (1 Viewer)

[fforde]

No, the Movie Manager tab on the Moving Pictures configuration screen. It's the far left tab that lets you modify/view movie info.

Hi I have something similar, Superbad is in the correct folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures\Backdrops\FullSize and has ben downloaded and has the correct name {Superbad} [1948879541].jpg. It opens fine in any graphics program but just shows as a black background in MP. Any ideas?

Thanks

Well, see, thats the problem. I have checked the path
C:/documents and settings/application data/media portal/my movies/movies/thumbs/hancock.jpg (or something like that, im at a different computer right now)
and the picture is there, (along with the others that work) it just wont show up inside mediaportal

Are you sure that's not the path for My Movies and not Moving Pictures?

Ya, im sure. I just didnt know the path off the top of my head.

This is great, i will try a custom name in my backdrop folder and correcting the path in movie manager tab.
But... what website do i go to to find the large backdrops?

themoviedb.org (TMDb) | The open movie database

That is the same source that Moving Pictures uses to retrieve data.

In the past (perhaps still) there was a problem with the hancock backdrop.
You just have to open it in mspaint and save it there. This may also apply to the other movies that are showing black backdrops.

That just worked for me with the Superbad backdrop!

Thanks
