Sometimes newly added movies get foreign thumb - cable_guy - 2012-07-08

Hi all,

Sometimes when I add a movie to the library it gets a foreign thumbnail for it, is there some setting I can change or a way to change this please?

The file is a flat movie.avi file rather than inside a folder. I have a mixture of movies inside folders and on their own and most work fine though, this is only some times.

thanks in advance.

select the movie, press "i" to bring up movie info, there should be a button to select a new thumb

I think posters are ordered by rating, not by language. Therefore if a foriegn poster gets a higher rating than the English one, it will appear above it, and XBMC will pick it. As Ned Says, you can change the poster / thumb in the movie information section. You may have to select / deselect "Use poster.jpg for Movies Item" if your using Aeon MQ3 skin though, as one of these settings removes the option to customize the thumb / poster art for individual movies / tv series.
