    Does the standard "My Videos" plugin support something like info text files with description of the video and coverart for every video file?

    The only way I know of is to go into the MP config and select "Video Database". Then allow it to index the your video files. It will do a IMDB scan and find the coverart and description. If you're talking about something custom, it would probably need a plugin.

    Maybe this is what you looking for?

    You are right, that what i was looking for. But the xml file does not work for me. I created one and named it like the movie file, but the contents did not show within "my videos" when i select that movie...
    Any idea?

    I quickly tested again:

    StreamedMP:
    When selecting(not playing) the videoclip, the skin will show the text details. Then Playing the clip will also show it when pressing the i-button.

    Blue3Wide:
    When selecting(not playing) the videoclip, the skin will NOT show the text details. Then Playing the clip will show it when pressing the i-button.

    So it seems to me that it is skin dependant.

    I can see this information when selecting the folder which contains the xml and movie file, but not if i enter this folder and select the movie file directly (i also use Streamed MP)...

    Sorry, I forgot about this one :oops:

    Not sure why yours would behave like that. Here is my screenshots.
    1. Selecting the folder that contains "one man band.avi" AND "one man band.xml"

    2. Selecting the file then
    pict2.JPG

    Weird :confused:
    Is your file perhaps called folder.xml?

    No, same name as video file (exept the extention)

    OK....perhaps impatient of me I know, but went for a full reinstall....and now up and running once more. Have no idea what was at the root of this problem....still wondering if it may've been due to a Win11 update earlier this week?
