Hi all,
I am a quite happy MePo user for some time but there is one thing I cannot get the way I would like it.

I have some movies that I would like to group in a subfolder to keep things a bit more organised.
Like all harry potter movies in subfolder HarryP, all startrek movies in maaifolder startrek.. and so on.
The organissation is of course simple but the I do not see any artwork in the main movie list. I have to open each folder where there is no fan art to see in the subfolder if there is any.

Ist there a way I can get artwork on the higher leveL

ok Addition to this.
I also have many movies where I have the movie +subs in a folder with the same name.
The file gets fanart, the folder not.
For a series of grouped movies this is not a big deal. At least I know what the group is about.
But for a single movie in a subfolder this in not so nice.

    Shares view is not database view so you won't get fanart in this view. My films plugin does what you ask. Moving pictures with imdb plus plugin allows grouping with similar name (notfolder based ) and that is what I use.[DOUBLEPOST=1372628709][/DOUBLEPOST]What ask might be good feature, as folder. Jpg is automatically used for a thumbnail in shares view, perhaps backdrop.jpg should also be displayed as a background,

    maybe a good idea would be to pick the info of one of the movies in the higher level.

    Maybe add "Grouped files" on to of the info? So that one knows this is not covering all files?
    Or even pick the general info found on IMDB based on the name of the top folder?

    Moving pictures also looks nice.
    My problem is a bit that it seems I couldd only perform an uplate of the database from the MePo configuration tools under plugins.
    I would like to be able to do such under MePo itself and let the plugin seachr on the background all thos hours the MePo is doing nothing:)
    Anyway U checked the "alway group files in the same folder"but that does not seem to work I see the movies in the folder "james bond" separate but not the higer folder James bond. SO I think I do something wrong:confused:
    I also added an IMDB plus plug in some time ago (I see in mepo config) and to be honest I do not have a clue what the use of that one is:confused:
