[QUOTE="VdR, post: 231354, member: 25818"] 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 :bitch: . 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. VdR [/QUOTE]
