[QUOTE="dir, post: 377335, member: 24485"] Just tried this out and watched it downloading covers. Unfortunately, the covers it found are terrible - totally unusable for me. Some are tiny thumbnail-sized ones, others (most) are what appear to be photos of DVD boxes/covers. Not sure where it's getting the covers from (google search possibly) but I had to abort it for fear that it would create a huge number of poor covers that might appear within Media Portal instead of the covers that currently appear (which are cropped, clean, large images). Enclosed is an example. I haven't changed it - it's a single jpg with 2 dvd covers in it. The other ("300") is a typical photo of a dvd cover, which isn't really suitable for Media Portal (although some people may prefer this type of cover, it doesn't work well with skins that assume it's a head-on cropped shot). Great idea, look forward to a future version. A good option would be to allow the user to specify the minimum dimensions. [/QUOTE]
