Program to populate the home screen backdrop folders? - purplegreendave - 2010-05-20 14:42

Is there a program that will sift through my music/tv/movie folders and use the fanart that's already there as the backdrops for the home screens?
I've already arranged/scraped everything with media companion, so there's plenty of data there to be pulled if there's a program out there to do it.

This has been discussed earlier. Set your backdrop folder to "~/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/Video/Fanart" (~ being your homefolder, where it is placed on a windoze computer I don't know, c:\users or whatever). I think that was the correct path anway .. atleast some fanart is there. Search the forum for more information.

Current problem is that you cannot separate Movies and TV Shows fanarts.
