[QUOTE="chumblespuzz, post: 417848, member: 90849"] Here is what I did. I made a couple of xml files for a few of the videos. I booted up MP and went to videos, then menu, switch view. The 'shares' view was the only way I could find my files. It had the folders that I have selected in the 'videos folders' part of the config program. From here I was able to scan through the files in each folder. The ones I created xml files for had the info displayed. I then decided to try for some artwork...I got a few .jpg files and named them like the video files and it displayed those when the file was selected. I was happy with this. Couple follow up questions. There are other items for info such as 'director' 'year' etc. I tried copying some of xml file like: <SimpleTag> <name>TITLE</name> <value>Your Movie Title here...</value> </SimpleTag> and simply changing 'TITLE' to 'YEAR' or 'DIRECTOR' but this did not work. Could you tell me how I could alter these setting with the xml file? Also I would like to be albe to use my own artwork for the background...using a different one for each folder selected...can I do this? BTW: When I went to the switch view and tried anything but 'shares' I had nothing to select from??? :thx: for you time and help!!! [/QUOTE]
