Hey all,


i have a tvix box for watching my movies ( company has closed now )

i have my movies stored in my downloads on my computer

i want to add cover art to them, before i plave them on my tivix box

does the XBMC programme do this or does it store the Movie art work somwhere else as it does not show on my download movie folders

it only seem to show in the XBMC programme itself


thanks all
rob

Hi Rob,

XBMC grabs all the artwork for it's internal use.

You can force XBMC to give you a copy of the artwork and metafiles with the Settings>video>library>Export Library as separate files, it will place a copy of the artwork beside each video as thumbnail files .tbn (you can rename them to jpegs to see them in any image viewer).

Will this work the same way with the Music library? I have each album in a separate folder and have been looking for a way to export cover art as "folder.jpg" from xbmc.
