[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 815823, member: 55213"] [b]AW: My Films 5.1 released (19.09.2011) - V5.1.0.1468 (MP 1.2.0)[/b] You could use AMCupdater and do on "update movies" tab an "update record", "update all" - only choosing "picture" in database fields. If you use an imdb type grabber and have IMDB in your catalog, all will be found without interaction. If you want to update with other site grabbers, like movie pilot, etc., you might either select "don't ask if no match" (will not update, if no automatic match is possible) or do a selection.
