The boxset covers do not work exactly as stated in the wiki:

By Default, My Films will display a random cover image from the group as the group cover. As of v 6.0.0 ou can create custom cover images for your Group Hierarchies. Just name the image the same as the Group Hierarchy name, and save it in the same location as your catalog pictures/covers. As in the above example, save an image as Harry Potter.jpg and store it in your AMC database folder (or pictures sub folder if you use one).

The first part (random Cover from group members) does not work, at least not in Big Icon layout.
The second part does work.

  • The Covers are by default in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MyFilms\Catalog\pictures
    Copy one you like, and rename it Alien.jpg and another AVP.jpg

    I can confirm Norsak - could you add an issue to the Tracker? Thanks.

    IIRC it means you have an outdated grabber or AMCU config. Maybe @Guzzi can confirm that?
    Do you still have the issue even with the new IMDB grabbers?
    If so, try to '(re)Create AMC Updater Default Settings' on the Import Tab in Setup

    If neither of those work Guzzi will need proper logs to sort it out - See Support for how to properly report bugs with logs and config files.

    (re)creating AMCU default config will solve that. Reason is an AMCU config, that was created with older version (probably beta) and a new parameter was introduced (in MF6 final) - thus AMCU will use a default value.

    So, you're power cycling the TV, but not putting the PC to sleep ?

    You need to check the wiki for TVMosaic, you have recordings as source available once TVM is installed. And of course images and music are part of the NET6 version as for NET4. If you have issues with it further infos would be good.

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.
