    This is a very simple patch that allows video playlist to show the thumbnail of items not in the database(IMDB etc).

    What would the difference look like, could you post a screenshot of before/after?

    Sure. As you can see in the first screenshot, Saw V has a thumbnail because I have fetched the IMDB data in MP, but the Grandia 3 in-game video does not.
    In the second screenshot both items display thumbnails.

    So the thumbnail for Grandia 3 is assigned manually, or is it the "folder.jpg" that is in use?

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

    Got a reply from SD ... "Looks like your last successful download was on 5/23. On 5/24 for some reason we received 194 connections between 10:54 and 11:05 triggering a denial of service attack ban. The logs show it was lifted on 5/25, but I still see the entry in iptables. I reset fail2ban and hopefully you're working again." Weird...
