Hi!

I'm a newbie on MediaPortal. I wish to browse movies by cover (a JPG inside the movie catalog), and i've only seen this with the Xface skin. But when i'm trying, i only get empty movie covers despite having JPG-files with covers inside every catalog.

Any tip for a newbie?

    Have you named the .jpg's "folder.jpg"? Also, you should look into the plugin "Moving Pictures".

    Thanks for the reply. I changed the names to "folder.jpg" - and it worked. However, the performance is very low. Its not the fastest computer but it should not be a problem (P4 2.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 40GB HD). When i change List-type in the movies-section it takes around 30 seconds to change. And when i try to change movie, it just stands still. The covers are pretty big, is that why MediaPortal almost hangs when using them?

    I searched the plugin database for "Moving Pictures" but found no plugin with that name. Also browsed the database but i couldnt find it. Is it on the MediaPortal-site? Will that plugin make my life easier?

    Edit: I found out that the pictures are making MP extremly slow. How come? Every move i make takes ages and i cant even hear the harddrive working? Hrm, strange. I found the Moving Pictures plugin and i'm trying to install it atm.

    Edit 2: I saw that the harddrive had extremly fragmented harddrives, maybe that's the problem :)
