Using Moving Pictures, and scanned my movie collection using the tool, its given me a number of cover arts... usually 3 to select from... but what if i don't like any of them... how do i select my own pics?

thanks

Simply name your own pic to folder.jpg and put them in the same directory as the respective movie before you import.

If it's already been imported, go to the list of your movies, and there should be a button on the bottom left that lets you navigate to a directory and choose an image file that you want to use.

    But there is no similar button to re-import a backdrop file !!!!!
    In this case I have to :
    - either delete this movie, then "Unignore all deleted", then re-import movie again
    - or go to the thumbs directory and manually replace backdop file.

    DevTeam, any better solutions ?

This has not been tested with multi languages and it has been configured for my personal collection. I'm hoping it will work...

    Also clear your "log" folder before running the import. In the backend importer (from the Configuration/Plugins/MovingPictures), there's a setting for ignored files you can try to disable. I'm using Mediaportal right now, so can't check exactly how it's worded. Emph
