[QUOTE="Bailx, post: 1056067, member: 108142"] I was wondering if it is possible to use your own "backdrop.jpg" and "folder.jpg" files in directories, without the use of Moving Pictures plugin, and to just have the default or titan skin use these images. Currently it will display folder.jpg from outside of the folder, but one you browse to that folder the image goes away to standard placeholder. And the backdrop.jpg is never used. Basically... while Moving Pictures is nice... it doesn't support the use of a folder structure.... for example like this: Hangover, The (main folder)(contains folder.jpg & backdrop.jpg) ---- (2009) The Hangover (subfolder)(contains folder.jpg & backdrop.jpg) ---- (2011) The Hangover II (subfolder)(contains folder.jpg & backdrop.jpg) ---- (2013) The Hangover III (subfolder)(contains folder.jpg & backdrop.jpg) So for example... you would place "folder.jpg" and "backdrop.jpg" in 4 places here, one in each movie sub-folder and then in the main folder (which most times i would just use the first movies artwork), but you can use whatever you want really. So, is there a way to do this? Another reason this would be ideal, is that for older people... they don't want to have to have to find Plugins -> then MovingPictures.... they just want to click on "Videos" and get to all their movies.....
