[QUOTE="marcelgl, post: 257553, member: 53251"] What I like in mediaportal is the simplicity to fill the music database: Just a folder.jpg file and some correct data in the tags and it is always correct e.g. the datasource for the database is in the folders itself. Evan after changing folders and files to a new location, just do a rescan and it is as it was before. I miss something like this for the movie database ( maybe it exists, but then I don`t know ) . Many movies from me it doenst` find in the IMDB, which means I have to edit by hand. In the editor there are absolute paths which is difficult when moving files. So how about the following idea: When movies are stored in folders and the folder contains a folder.jpg this one is used as artwork.
