[QUOTE="Digsy, post: 1305702, member: 163222"] Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Thumbs\FanArt I then copied all the .jpgs to a separate folder and used Irfanview to sort them by width and height, which enabled me to filter out anything which looked like the correct aspect ratio for a DVD cover. Then I sorted the files by date, and also sorted my DVD folders by date, and began manually dragging the cover .jpgs into the DVD folders. This worked for about 90% of the DVDs but weirdly there were a few which didn't seem to have a cover in the MP2 folder at all (even though one did appear in the Movies menu). I had to find these manually with a Google image search. Turns out the Amazon is good for having small-format DVD cover images. I was also helped by the fact that the Mede8er doesn't require that the cover art is called a specific name. If there is a .jpg in the same folder as the vdeo files then it will use it. [/QUOTE]
