[QUOTE="Tsurany, post: 354647, member: 54635"] Hi, I have recently reinstalled MediaPortal because I wanted a clean install for the newest version. I previously used the default movie sorter that came with MediaPortal, it would scan my movie folder (only have one) and find my directory's, find the folder.jpg inside them and display this as the cover. Before this I used the default imdb grabber but since updating from RC2 it causes nothing but trouble. The problem with MediaPortal's default sorter scanning my harddrive was that it was just terriblely (sp?) slow, would have to wait half a minute before I could select a movie and even then navigation was hella slow. So now I use Moving Pictures again, tried it before but it gave me some trouble, but the latest release seems to be doing fine and looks fine, except for one thing. In the advanced config I set the maximum covers to download to 0 and set the minimum width for backdrops to 9999 pixels. This causes the plugin not to download backdrops or covers, which is how I like it because in every movie folder I have a hand picked folder.jpg which I like to be displayed. The only problem is that more than half of the covers aren't loaded or displayed. They are all named folder.jpg, are all residing in the movie folder and are all displayed in the default sorter from MediaPortal. And another small thing, I don't like the default backdrop if none is fould (the picture of the theatre), is there a way to just display no backdrop at all? I don't like the backdrop feature since about 20% of my movies don't return a proper backdrop and it looks ugly when you are browsing the backdrop changes to the theatre. Thanks for reading! Tsurany I have found the cause of my first problem, it seems only my HD movies have a cover and not my dvd rips. And my HD movies are located directly in the movie folder, but the dvd rip files are in the video_ts folder. So maybe that is the problem. Only, how to fix it? Maybe I did something wrong in the config screen? [/QUOTE]
