Fanart for MyVideos (1 Viewer)

[josch.hh]

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
