    is there anyway or is there a particular folder that I could manually store the fanart (or banner) that I've created instead of have to grab it from thetvdb?? reason I've asked is b/c I've created some fanart for the asian tv series that thetvdb.com doesn't have; however, they said my fanart isn't up to their high standard (not res. nor size, but the design!), so they've deleted quite a few of my fanarts! so I want to see if there's anyway I could just put my fanarts into the htpc myself instead?? assuming there's actually a folder for fanart and MP will assign it to the correct series.....

    and it seems like MP will auto import the banners from thetvdb for me; however, I'll need to manually import (right click on each series' banner, then fanart, then download....) fanart for each series? is it normal??

    also, while I'm at it (discussion of fanart/banner), if there's more than one fanart/banner from thetvdb, how could I choose which one to use??

    many tks again!!

    that's the location of fanart.
    It has a number prefix for every file you can lookup using tvseries plugin config.
    Do that yourself and I believe you're set.
