[QUOTE="breese, post: 1132622, member: 114299"] While not a fan of nfo files, I did some testing. This is to possibly help with what is needed when this section is written to correect the Priorities.... Draw from this what you will but I can tell you the curreent system is drawing from multiple locations at the same time. I deleted the DB, everything in the folders TheMovieDB and Thumbs\FanArt I then created seperate folders for each of the 5 movies 1941, A Brief History of Time, A Christmas Carol, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, All Quiet on the Western Front Within each of the Movie folders (except All Quiet on the Western Front) 1941.nfo backdrop.jpg folder.jpg For All Quiet on the Western Front I renamed folder.jpg to All Quiet on the Western Front.jpg On a fresh import the importer created folders for each movie in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\TheMovieDB Besides the # for TMDB it also created a folder for IMDB because of the tt# listed within the nfo file. Within each of the TMDB folders (as per the Matches.xml) it created movie_en.json Backdrops (with image files) Posters (with image files) What gets real interesting is while I had not gone into Movies yet, the folder C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Thumbs\FanArt was Empty The moment I went into Movies, C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Thumbs\FanArt was populated with image files AND All Quiet on the Western Front (the one I changed the folder.jpg was different from the others. Thumbnail_272a73b0-bc0d-4ca0-b498-683dc820bd0d_512x512_All Quiet on the Western Front.jpg vers Thumbnail_ec6cf27b-54e0-4dd0-8ef7-7ba6dc3e188b_512x512_folder.jpg So as it turns out, the CURRENT system is looking at files within the Movie directories yet creates the folders and files within the Standard MP2 directries. Now durring all this I had MP2-Client running... I went in and deleted all the files within C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Server\Thumbs\FanArt I then went back into Movies. This time the system created the FanArt_ec6cf27b-54e0-4dd0-8ef7-7ba6dc3e188b_1920x1080_backdrop.jpg files but NOT the folder image files. [/QUOTE]
