I tested the 160 on my htpc and most music covers were generated with FakeCD. But there are still some left without cd art. Most (but not all) of them are "various artist" albums.[code]22-10-2014 08:53:21.023 # Various Artists - Italo Disco Mix [bc936ae6-e99c-375c-bc0d-8aa926e6bb2a]  22-10-2014 08:53:21.024 - Skip: False AC: False CD: False FCD: False  22-10-2014 08:53:21.024 - Musicbrainz ID for Various Artists - Italo Disco Mix - bc936ae6-e99c-375c-bc0d-8aa926e6bb2a  22-10-2014 08:53:21.024 - Get fanart.tv URLs for bc936ae6-e99c-375c-bc0d-8aa926e6bb2a Various Artists - Italo Disco MixE 22-10-2014 08:53:21.240 - HTTP Exception for bc936ae6-e99c-375c-bc0d-8aa926e6bb2a Various Artists - Italo Disco Mix [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found]  22-10-2014 08:53:21.242 - HTTP [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found] Try to create FakeCD ...  22-10-2014 08:53:21.252 - Fake: Music (Album) mode.  22-10-2014 08:53:21.252   Fake: Mask - %an-%alL.jpg - Various Artists-Italo Disco Mixl.jpg  22-10-2014 08:53:21.253   Random files find: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\Music\Albums\Various Artists-Italo Disco Mixl.jpg  22-10-2014 08:53:21.253   Fake: Music (Album) alternate search C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbsSkin FanArt\Scraper\Music\Various Artists (*).jpg  22-10-2014 08:53:21.253   Random files find: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbsSkin FanArt\Scraper\Music\Various Artists (*).jpg  22-10-2014 08:53:21.253   Fake: fanart path, search mask, target path or fanart file not found. [76/23/63/0][/code]First difference between those cd arts that are generated and those that are not is that MePo Tools (or FakeCD) does this "alternate search" for fanarts though the album is already found in thumbs\Music\Albums.Second, there is a backslash missing in the path string between "thumbs" and "Skin FanArt". So it's clear why it says "fanart path ... not found" <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />It seems that this path is hardcoded. At least it doesn't change if I change anything in the settings for artist background folder. So I guess you have to change that <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Second problem I discovered is that I don't have the "use moving pictures DB" button anymore. First I had the problem on my testing system. After opening an older version of MePo Tools and playing around with it, it the button suddenly came back. But on my big system I've not been lucky so far.I tried to manually change the DB path to the MP DB. This works but it doesn't find any pictures because the mask is wrong. The backdrops filenames look like {30.Days.of.Night} [-1320057784].jpg. If I try to use "{%nm}*" it searches for "{30?Days?of?Night}*" without any result.Last strange thing for movies is that MePo doen't find the tt number for a lot of films. Besides the fact that I do have ember generated nfo files including the tt numbers for every movie, I'm not talking about unpopular for those perhaps aren't any ids. I'm talking about movies like Alien, Scary Movie, Spider Man, Mission Impossible, Iron Man ... . Neither update nor download takes it to update those tt ids.</blockquote>
