[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 854103, member: 18896"] That's the whole reason I wrote this batch file, because I run my HTPC on a 32GB partition (in preperation for SSD) and storage is important. Some original covers can be huge in resolution, dpi or lossless compression which then results in sometimes extremly large filesizes. I hope for your sake you meant 1MB and 20MB, because GB's for images are reserved for very unique types. There are many images on imdb.com and themoviedb.org for covers that are indeed in the 1MB+ range. MovingPictures however now has improved options to resize and recompress all the artwork it obtains, which can be configured via the advanced settings. This batch file is still useful in correcting the existing artwork, without having to delete the artwork and re-obtaining it with the new MovPic settings you prefer. PS: To put it in usage-scenario perspective, my "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\thumbs\MovingPictures" folder holds 11,119 files in 6 folders and only occupies 1.09 GB in storage. In original usage it was growing fast over 10GB. PPS: A bug has been fixed in MovingPictures regarding downloading of images from a source provider that would not allow images to be downloaded correct. The result was very large images, so keep this in mind as well as you might simply need to update your MovPic setup and manually correct the 'bad' files. [/QUOTE]
