How to point to local Fanart in NFO ? [RESOLVED]

parslej · 2012-04-13 02:28

I'm editing .NFO files and wanted to point to local Fanarts and Thubnails to be used by XBMC library
(I meant not http:\... but D:\MOVIES\...\myFanart.jpg)

How should I do that?

Exactly the way you've done.

l must miss something

Putting path to jpg file between thumb tags doesn't work
Leading this local path by file:\\ doesn't work too
Selecting local poster in xbmc works, but when exporting library to nfo file thumb tag doesn't appear - so doesn't work either ...

Can you please advice how this shall be really done ?
What shall I enter in nfo file to point to picture on hard drive ?

When you export your nfo files you'll notice a <thumb> and/or <fanart> tag.

Just replace the URLs there with a local URL.

Got it finally - thanks.
Just did something like:

Code:

<thumb>c:\pict.jpg</thumb>

But problem I have is - when movie was previously added to lib. (with http:\\... path to poster) I cannot change it (meant current picture)
Even I removed all thumbs in NFO file,replaced them by local paths- previous poster and fanart are displayed as 'current'
My local are 2nd on the list when browsing manually

How to make them 'current' (displayed by default in lib.) ??

(I tried clear DB,remove position fromlib - nothing helped)

refresh helps but still have problem
I can see all local pictures as items on the list but no preview is visible

When I select one as current then xbmc displays it but no thumbs on the list...

Any idea how to sort this out
(seems last issue I had re this )
