[QUOTE="THX-UltraII, post: 368790, member: 87915"] Hi all, I m pretty new on this forum as you can see and would like to know some basic things about the Moving Pictures plugin. I ve found out that I have to add a PATH in the MOVIE IMPORTER of the Moving Pictures settings. So I added my movies folder here where all my content is stored (each movie has a separate folder). At the DATA SOURCES I selected IMDB for movie details, THEMOVIEDB.ORG for backdrops and IMPAWARDS.COM for covers. After correcting one or two movies at the MATCHES tab (eg. madagascar 2 was not recognized but I could select the right one from the pull-down menu), all my movies where 'OK' (green and checked). After this I went to the tab MOVIE MANAGER. The movie info grabbed from IMDB was all ok but than I noticed some strange things where my questions comes up (finally :D): For example, for the movie X Files I Want To Believe there was no Cover Art found. Strange, because I ve always used a program called 'Movie Info Plus' and this program uses also IMPA and TMDB as source for finding covers and 'Movie Info Plus' finds lots of covers and fanarts (fanarts are the same as backdrops right?). So first question is why movie pictures cannot find a cover art for eg. this movie where movie info plus does find covers? I was happy to see that I could select the cover art I personally wanted by selecting one (if there where found more covers) with the arrows when selecting a movie. compliments for that! However, I have not found a way to choose my own backdrop (fanart). Movie info plus used to find more than one fanart most of the times and I always selected one I liked most. Is this not possible with movies pictures? So that s it for now. Guys, maybe I m missing the big picture here or don t understand it fully yet so please correct me where neccessery! I saw that it is possible to manually add Movies Pictures Scripts so maybe it could have to do something with this? Thanks again for all help and really appologise for my bad English.
