    Hi,

    I do not fully understand your question. Do you mean multiple movie files on HD or really multiple CDs?

    If you want something like stacking in the first case. Just name your files like this:
    movie-CD1.avi
    movie-CD2.avi

    And the movie will be shown as one file...

    Hi,

    1) no sorry. The naming convention of MP is limited / strict. You have to stay as I mentioned.

    2) Yeah, the picture lookup of MP is currently restricted to english amazon. Therefor the lookup for other languages is often wrong. Not much you can do against it. You may place your own coverarts in the directories. You can edit the DB entries within Configure->Movies->Database. Or do some coding. ;)

    3) Your question would have been better placed in the support section.

    Flip.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...
