[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 935898, member: 27204"] I'm not sure how big an issue that part is Guzzi because there are not really any standards for fanart naming, even between MP plugins :( (You have heard me whine and complain about the lack of image mgmt/standards many times ;)) Nor are there any 'standards' in how the movie catalog apps store fanart. Besides that, My Films is unique because it stores multiple fanart in separate folders for each movie, so it can display them more easily in Details window.
