I have a few covers that are not returned by the scraper. Searching Google, I tracked down the images and want them to be used in the scrape. All of my movies are in .iso files so I renamed the covers with the same name as the iso and placed them in the same directory but Moving Pictures does not seem to find them. I see the option to Search movie folders for cover art named: and have checked the box, but still not finding them. Is there another method I should be using?

Unfortunately, all of my .iso files are in the same directory like movie1.iso, movie2.iso, etc and then movie1.jpg, movie2.jpg, etc.
Ahh okay.
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures\Covers\FullSize
Vista: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures\Covers\FullSize
rename the cover to %imdb_id%.jpg -> e.g.: "tt0963178.jpg" (for The International (2009)) and place them in the folder above

I see how that would work.
I was hoping that there was a more automated method built into moving pictures, but this will have to do. Thanks.

I have the covers in the same directory as the movie, with the same name. There are many movies/covers in the same folder. There is a setting in the advanced settings section (I forget which) which lets you specify the filenames scanned to pick up cover art in the same folder as the movie. You need to add %filename%.jpg and then re-order your Cover Sources to put Local first.

Yes. That would be what I was trying to get it to do. I'll have to try it when I get home tonight - thanks Sutekh!
