[QUOTE="foxbenw, post: 795899, member: 115475"] Hi That is very useful, thanks. One of the things that makes me like MyMovies at the moment is that you can select a particular DVD or BD version from a barcode and retrieve the cover for that specific disc as the fanart - ie you will recognise your own discs in MP rather than having the standard fanart from imdb. eg using the same example as above, imdb would provide the sorcerers stone poster, and i don't think it has one available for philosophers stone.
