    I am not sure if i understand how it works for "MyVideos".
    Does Fanrt Handler look into the video database of MP or does it look for video files to extract the title and search the fanart in the internet....?

    Can you plz explain?

    I have been hoping to see an answer to this question as I too do not understand how the fanart for MyVideos works.

    Regarding Fanart for the MyVideo's section, this was only recently introduced in the MP code by Deda, so fanart handler is not really involved as such, works same way as MovingPictures, gets fanart whilst scanning into database, so you do need to rescan if using a older db.

    ok, so the fanrt handler will use the video db to look for fanarts.
    The bad thing is that in the video db configuration a "auto update" feature is missing like in the music db settings.

    Will there be someting like an auto update feature in the "updated" "my videos" section of MP?

    Hi,

    Fanart Handler does not use the myVideo database at all. When you enter myVideo in MP and select a title FanartHandler tries to match the title with any fanart you already have in your;
    * Thumbs\Skin FanArt\movies (here you can put your own fanart for movies)
    * any fanart that TVSeries has downloaded.
    * any fanart that MovingPictures has downloaded.

    FanartHandler does not scrape for movie fanart... myVideo, mesFilms, MovingPictures and TVSeries does.

    cheers

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

If you go to an episode and open the options and pick choose artwork then choose episode thumbnail it shows the correct thumbnail and says it is remote. Click on it and it goes local instantly and...
