[QUOTE="Mercbac, post: 217973, member: 48233"] Back from celebrating Christmas, I just found something very interesting: First my movie setup in MP: I added two directories to my movie folders in the config tool, "Z:\Videos\Movies" (located on a NAS) which contains only .avi files and "E:\LocalFilms" (on a local disk in the machine running MP) which contains only .iso and .img files. So my problem was that all my .iso and .img files did not get their coverart to show in any of the thumbnail or filmstrip views. Hitting F3 on them did however show the coverart on the IMDB info page. For the .avi files this all works fine. When I checked things out with Process Monitor I saw that MP was trying to read the coverart for one of my .img files from E:\LocalFilms, and sure enough, when I copied the two images from the "thumbs" directory where all the rest is located, and into E:\LocalFilms, MP was able to show the coverart even in thumbnail and filmstrip views for these files. I am just puzzled as to why MP makes a difference in where it looks for thumbs. I did not see any difference in the coverart tab for movies under the config tool (compared that tab for a ".avi" and a ".img" file). But at least I now have a solution that makes it all look nice!
