With what name and where stores MyFilms fanart pictures?

The path is user selectable - for "default install" it is preset to
<MediaPortal data directoy>\MyFilms\Fanart\
but can be anywhere else, if the user changes that setting (e.g. for network installs, it is usually on a server share)
The naming is done as follows:
- movie title as base (the one the user configures as "mastertitle")
- replace invalid characters (those, the filesystem does not allow) with "_"
- replace spaces with dots
- lower case
- place all fanarts in a directory with that name -> '{<cleanedtitle>}'
- first fanart has same same as directory, if there are more, hashes are added to the name

  string safeName = CreateFilename(title.ToLower()).Replace(' ', '.');
  string dirname = artFolder + "\\{" + safeName + "}";
  filename = dirname + "\\{" + safeName + "}.jpg";

movie title as base (the one the user configures as "mastertitle")

How to determine what kind of?
OriginalTitle="The Fifth Element" TranslatedTitle="The Fifth Element" FormattedTitle="Fifth Element, The"
Now use the original. It really only affects the creation of Fike CD.

Again, user can configure which title to be used. I'd say stick with otitle - that's the more reliable one, as translated title very much depends on grabbers/data sources.

So let it be original.

What is the setting in which file is responsible for this.

Worked?

Yes is does, that great. But i'm about to figure out what code to use to display the art.

For example what? For My Video something like:

What is the setting in which file is responsible for this.

In MP datadirectory -> MyFilms.xml (which is the MyFilms config file).
Inside the file, you'll find a setting (per configuration):

  <entry name="AntTitle1">OriginalTitle</entry>

The active configuration you find in

    <entry name="Current_Config">SampleMovies</entry>

I want to use this line to display clearart

<texture>..\..\..\Thumbs\ClearArt\Movies\#(string.trim(#myfilms.db.IMDB_Id.value)).png</texture>

but it seems that you can not use the field IMDB_Id.

Maybe @Guzzi can answer if it's possible.

Edit: I figured out that this would be the best code to use

<texture>..\..\..\Thumbs\ClearArt\Movies\#(string.trim(#myfilms.user.item5.value)).png</texture>

with the IMDB_Id value in MyFilms custom settings.

The first attempt was the correct one - but indeed it does not work due to field is not pushed to property.
Have created an issue and will be fixed in next release.
Useritem could be used as workaround for the time being, but in general is a bad idea, as the user might remap it to a different field.
