It's so simple, so nice and clear. And in the first place - it's set forever. You do not need to do nothing after reinstall - you have all set. They would rather mess half a day with their crappy database plugins, changing from build to build. Everyone is obsessed with databases, series and movie plugins here, which will most likely fail with first MP reinstallation (and maybe not, but that's not the point). There s a simple way to load a background fanart in the myvideos plugin. The only condition is, that the filename must contain the name of the videofile. For example if you have video named MyFilm.avi, the dvd cover thumbnail must be named MyFilm.jpg OR MyFilm.tbn to display good in the image control with <texture>#selectedthumb</texture> tag. (it's done this way in most skins)Background fanart MUST be named as MyFilm.jpg.something OR MyFilm.tbn.something. (tbn or jpg depends on the name of the dvd coverart filename, it MUST be the same and the dvd thumbnail MUST be present, or your background will not show up. And of course, you can display it by loading it into the myvideos background image control using <texture>#selectedthumb.something</texture>. You may probably use more than one image with the multiimage control, I didn't tried, one is enough for me. I use it with a mod of myvideo.xml from the StreamedMP skin currently. Until today, I haven't found any method to load a movie text details from an xml or txt or whatever file, and noone here is able to help me with this - probably there's no way. I just think about creating some simple plugin, that returns content of a text file passed as a parameter (let's say #selectedthumb.txt i.e. in our example MyVideo.jpg.txt or MyVideo.tbn.txt) to display it in the myvideo MP section.</blockquote>
