[QUOTE="fforde, post: 371866, member: 52082"] Our backdrops (fanart) are retrieved from themoviedb.org, which as far as I know, is the only place that freely provides backdrops like this. So perhaps XBMC has another data source I am not aware of, but if not, the same movies missing backdrops in Moving Pictures should be missing backdrops in XBMC. As for cover art, we recently lost a data source for cover art (posters.motechnet.com). They did not want us pulling data from their site anymore so we had to disable the scraper. The impawards scraper is still active, and it has been improved in the upcoming 0.7 release. Plus in 0.7 covers will now be pulled from themoviedb.org (like backdrops currently are). So with the new release you should see a signifigant improvement in the number of covers retrieved. As for handling multiple backdrops, this is just something we have not had time to implement yet.
