Is it possible to force XBMC to use the already downloaded images and fan-art that I used Ember to scape? When updating my library I notice it uses default images from what ever it finds but with ember I have already chosen certain images that I want to appear in my list such as fan-art and cover art etc... I get a lot of other language covers that I don't particularly like.

XBMC always prioritizes local nfo and images. How have you configured your scraper and how is your Ember install configured to name your images/fanart?

I have never had XBMC not use my local images, with the exception of artist thumbs and fanart which I can't figure out how to update once XBMC has loaded from the internet first.

How about fanart?
Can I remove the <movie>-fanart.jpg as well and just use fanart.jpg?

If you chose to use movie.... set the scraper in xbmc to 'use foldernames for lookup'

His file structure led me to believe that everything was in it's own folder. He's using /extrathumbs for example.

Indeed, they go in the movie folder NOT extrathumbs.

.tbn is just a type of image container. Similar to .jpg
Should be indeed the same as folder.jpg/tbn or poster.jpg/tbn
