Hi everyone

Finally getting my head around this fab Aeon MQ3 skin its amazing! Just having one issue though at the mo that i would love some help with if possible. I have set the location of my movies under the movie tab and it finds them fine and runs the scrapper (I have only set IMdb as i found the other not so good) Anyway im finding a few of my movies are not recieving the correct artwork etc and i would really like to get my own background fan art and dvd poster image. Im just not to sure how i go about doing it. Every movie i have is in its own sub folder so for example (Users\Liam\My Movies\Batman the dark night\Batman the dark night.avi) Can i just put the images i would like to appear in the movie folder itself? If so what is the coorect naming structure for background art and the dvd cover?

Hope someone can help

Thanks guys[/align]

There are many types of fanart. I'll use my folder for Avatar just as an example. Movie is named 'Avatar (2009)'.

I have the following fanart files:
Avatar (2009)-fanart.jpg
clearart.png
disc.png
logo.png
poster.jpg

The fanart is just that, fan art. Clearart is fan art with a transparent background. disc is the disc. logo is a stylized logo for avatar. and poster is the dvd poster.

Aside from those, you can have extrathumbs and extrafanart. But those require the skin to use them, and since you lack those folders I'd say it isn't an issue.
