    This may (or may not) have to do with this.

    I had carefully collected a high quality DVD cover image for all my films and stored these as folder.jpg in the directory of the related film. Worked great :) .

    When I changed to 0.2.3.0 I noticed that the IMDB function had been fixed/improved, so I scanned the movie drives to create a movie database. While doing that MP creates a low and a high resolution image and stores these in the database (thumbs). Unfortunately it also overwrites the folder.jpg file with the low resolution image :mad: .

    This is not a problem until; you move the movie directory (or all of them as I did), this breaks the database and then MP defaults back to the folder.jpg file that it changed to the low resolution picture :eek: .

    I'm again not using the movie database. I fixed all the artwork and to make double sure stored a copy of all the folder.jpg files too.

    Creating the database and finding the right coverart took very much manual intervention. And when it is all done I have to start again on the second MP machine that shares the movies (but not the database). It just isn't worth it. This is the one thing I miss from MCE, the movies plugin worked realy well.

    It seems that the problem is only in movies inside a folder in my movies directory!!! The ones that are in the root of that directory have their thumbs showing ok in filmstrip mode...

    This bug was fixed some months ago, but somehow it broke again later.

    There's a tool on this site that makes your low res thumbs, high res. You can find it in the repository.

    I fixed the bug, the file menu should work again now! You just need to copy the attached DialogFile.xml to the Titan folder and the graphic files to the corresponding media folder! ;) There also seems to be a problem with the background displayed, which @ajs might be able to fix! ;)
