[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1260198, member: 109222"] Hi. There are chapters in the Wiki where the naming is described. [URL="https://www.team-mediaportal.com/wiki/display/MediaPortal2/Setting+up+Media+Items"]Setting up Media Items[/URL] In General MP2 is "more tolerant" than Kodi when it comes to naming of local fanart. Excerpt for very little things you can use exactly the same naming than Kodi asks for. The default settings in my Tool Media-Buddy (it's a different tool than tMM but it also adds .nfo and local fanart to video and audio files separately or even while you are recode or remux the video files. some sort of "Handbrake, MKVMerge and tMM with one mouse click in one tool") are set to match both, MP2 and Kodi... For movies there is {videoname}.nfo, banner.jpg. poster.jpg, fanart.jpg, clearart.png, clearlogo.png, discart.png and the only different thing between MP2 and Kodi, the movie thumb (as on fanart.tv) must be landscape.jpg for Kodi and has to be thumb.jpg for MP2. I've raised a feature request already to allow "landscape.jpg" for the movie thumb in MP2 too. But this is not jet implemented, also I think it will be added some not too far away day... The naming above only is possible if you have a "1 movie = 1 folder" setup (like I have and if I understand right, you also have). If you store all (many) movies all together in one folder then you need to add "{videoname}-"before the base filename. E.g. instead of "poster.jpg" you need to name it "12 Monkeys (1995)-poster.jpg" then... For series there is one tvshow.nfo for each series and poster.jpg, banner.jpg, fanart.jpg, clearart.png, clearlogo.png seasonxx-poster.jpg, seasonxx-banner.jpg and for each episode there is a {videoname}.nfo and a {videoname}-thumb.jpg.
