This may be a newbie kind of a question, but I've searched the forums and I can't figure out how to fix my problem.
I have been getting either a plain black backdrop or the occasional wrong backdrop for my movies. I've checked on themoviedb.org, and backdrops exist, and in some cases are different to the one showing up in MovingPictures. I know how to download a file myself and set it as the backdrop, what I'm wondering is whether there's a way of refreshing and cycling through the downloaded backdrops and picking the right one, as there is for the cover art? If not, how do I get MP to update the backdrop?
As an example, the wrong backdrop shows up for Miracle on 34th Street - it's a picture from the 1947 version, not the 1994 version which I actually have (and have selected in the MovingPictures importer). I'm assuming the wrong backdrop got there because the importer defaulted to the 1947 version and I had to change it to the 1994 version. When I go to themoviedb.org, it has two backdrops for the 1994 version, both correct for the 1994 version. Clearly Moving Pictures hasn't updated the backdrop since I changed to the 1994 version. How do I force Moving Pictures to update the backdrop? I've tried the "refresh movie information from the internet" button, which has had no effect. As it happens, the two cover art items that show up in moving pictures for the same movie are not the same as the posters on themoviedb.org either, even after I refresh the list of cover art. I'm confused. I have double-checked both the cover art and backdrop sources, and themoviedb.org is at the top of both lists.
Alternatively, I have a plain black background showing up in Moving Pictures for Bride and Prejudice, when there are two perfectly good backdrops on themoviedb.org. Again, how do I force Moving Pictures to update the backdrop? And can I choose between them?
Any light you can shed on this subject will be appreciated.
I'm using MediaPortal 1.0.2 with Moving Pictures 0.7.5.681 and Monochrome skin 1.0.1
Thanks
