[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 692419, member: 11220"] Where are you thumbs stored and what options do you have set in the music database screen for thumbs. The options on the left will determine where thumbs are picked up from. The options on the right will try and create thumbs you are missing. When creating the artist preview thumbs this will use the album thumbs and turn them into an artist thumb; in this case, if there are no album thumbs there will be no artist thumbs. Also have you disabled downloading cover art from in the music now playing section? This will actually lookup artist thumbs for you and you may get actual pictures of the artists (not sure how good last.fm is with classical music) So basically you need to first off figure out the thumb settings but you have a couple of options [list] [*]leave MP to create artist thumbs based on the album artwork [*]allow MP to download artist thumbs from the internet (only does this when actually playing music) [*]manually download artist thumbs yourself with thumbs called albumartist.jpg (eg go [URL="http://www.last.fm/music/Emma+Kirkby/+images"]here[/URL] and save one of those images as emma kirkby.jpg and that will then appear as the artist thumb [/list] [url=http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/index.php?title=1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/14_Using_MediaPortal/5_Music/Album_%26_Artist_Images&highlight=artist+thumbs]Album & Artist Images - MediaPortal Wiki[/url] [/QUOTE]
