[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1000671, member: 18896"] MovPic normally imports missing artwork in the background when it knows it is missing. The problem is you used a backup, and if you only used the DB3 backup and not the corresponding artwork backup from the thumbs folder, then MovPic based on the database thinks all artwork is accounted for and that it doesn't have to look for it again. You can force new artwork inside the configuration via the image refresh icon under the poster area, but this only takes care of the cover. To fix it for fanart you would have to delete all the references inside the database with an SQLite tool and then MovPic upon next time you start it will automatically use the corresponding background fanart scraper-script to obtain it (most likely TMDb). If your filenames are all named ideal (containing IMDb tt-ID reference direct in filename, or indirect in NFO), then a full re-import might be more in place. And keep in mind for future reference to back that artwork folder up as well. There is also an MPEI plugin you can use that does it for you, either the backup plugin, or the MovPicNFO one. [/QUOTE]
