Thank you so much!

You should be able to use BACKSPACE when you do 'get fanart -> browse' and go way up in the folder levels until you see the same folder as your movie source name. Go into that and browse until you find your fanart.

Are these instructions to any particular version of XBMC? I'm using Dharma and can't seem to find any menu where I can even hit the BACKSPACE key that leads me to "fanart". Anytime I hit the BACKSPACE key it just takes me to the previous menu.

I'm sorry for being suck a noob with this but I'm more of a visual type of person so I'm obviously struggling with this.

Thank you for all your help so far!

By "fan art of my choosing" do you mean a picture that you have on your hard drive (like you downloaded or created yourself)? Or do you just want to choose a diffent one that xbmc has available?

- Highlight the show that you want to modify and press 'I'. This will bring up the info screen.
- On the info screen, there will be an option labeled "Get Fanart". Highlight it and press enter.
- At the very bottom of the list that appears (of remote fanarts) there is 'Browse'. Highlight it and press enter.

You should now see your local drives (C:, D:, etc) you can navigate through there (just like you do in windows) to the folder containing the picture you want to use. Once there, highlight the pic you want to use and press enter. You should now be taken back to the info screen and the fanart you just selected should be displayed. You can now hit 'backspace' to close the info screen and you should see the fanart you just selected.

If this doesn't help, I can send you some screenshots of what I'm talking about. Good luck!
