[QUOTE="sridharb, post: 1260215, member: 58216"] With the linked folder working "fine" in the test, I decided to dump the earlier database and start from zero. After creating all the media sources, it started to import everything automatically, ran for a while and ran out of memory. Then I kicked off the import of each category one by one and now, it is done. I do see all the movies in all the linked folders except for a handul - which are much much lower than before, so, this is something I can investigate further. However, the most important problem left is that it is not showing any "banner/poster/fanart" etc. All it shows is the movie synopsis, genre, year etc. I am guessing this "text" information is from the NFO file. But all the other files (banner.jpg, fanart.jpg, clearart and whatnot) are not being used. I see that they are named like Lehmden describes above - i.e. {videoname}.nfo, banner.jpg. poster.jpg, fanart.jpg, clearart.png, clearlogo.png, discart.png and not {videoname}-banner.jpg etc. I have asked MP2 not to download any fanart - by which I thought it should use what is already there. But it seems to not. Any clues? Thanks, Sridhar [/QUOTE]
