[QUOTE="aquatarkus, post: 836340, member: 56009"] Hi am currently running windows 7 x64 with mediacenter, media browser, stark covers, musicbrowser2 and mediacenter master to get the backdrops etc for movies, codec installed are, ffdtryouts 32 and 64 bit, AC3 and i couple of others (can't remember which) to let mediacenter play flac, ogg and mvk files. thinking of switching to mediaportal due to issues with mediabrowser etc. have a few questions, can i use mediacenter master with media portal for the movie backdrops posters, actor images still or do i have to use something else? The musicbrowser2 plugin doesn't work very well so looking for something better that can display the album covers etc, i have all my music tagged using tag&rename and have covers in each of the folders labled as either the album or as folder.jpg, there is also a metadata folder in most of the music folders that seem to have been created by the musicbrowser2 plugin or the mbmusic plugin from mediabrowser that really didn't work. I have my music on a drive on my server configured as \\albums > artist-album, in the case of more than 1 album per artist i have the artist folder then inside that will be multiple albums listed by album name. Will i need to clear out all the metadata folders etc? My movies are either avi's, iso's, mkv's or dvd rips (video TS and Audio TS folders) do i leave the ffdtryouts codecs installed or should i uninstall them? Will they display as dvd covers like in your screen shot of the default/default wide skin or is that a plugin similar to coverart - stark covers? sorry for the long post regards aquatarkus:S [/QUOTE]
