I think it's le tigre. Either way, it's way too much to see this for all of my movies.

Anyway, are all your movies in separate folders?
Box 1: ODroid N2+ 4GB
Box 2: Intel NUC D34010WYK (Windows afedchin's Krypton MVC Build)
Box 3: Vero 4K

I've had the same thing happen to me sometimes. Haven't figured out why yet.

All of my movies are in the same folder. An example of how they are labeled is :
Aliens (3) Alien 3 (1992).mp4
Aliens (3) Alien 3 (1992).nfo
Aliens (3) Alien 3 (1992).tbn

Well, with over 500 movies it seems like a lot of work to resort them all, but I am willing to do it if it will make things easier in the future. Any idea why this happens now though? I never had this issue when i was running Eden/Aeon Nox 3.5

OK. I moved all movies into their own folders and re-scanned them into my library. Seems to have solved the problem with the fanart.
Strange that it has always worked before. Thanks for all the help guys.

Glad I could help.
And having movies in separate folders is the only way to go with XBMC.

Not wanting to sound TOO OCD, but separating out your films into their own folders (MovieName/MovieFile) and doing the same with your music (Artist/Album/track) will save you a lot of pain in the future, not only with XBMC, but any other application that sorts or categorizes media. I use the following schema for folder/file naming:
Music: Album Artist(s)/Album/## - Album Artist - Album - Track Title.ext
Movies: Film Name (Year)/Film Name cd# (Year).ext
TV: Show Name/Season Number/Show Name - S0xE0x - Episode Title.ext
This way if the media gets separated from it's originating folder, or temporarily transferred to another device, or god forbid - the tagging is damaged / destroyed, I still instantly know looking at the file name, what the content is. The three categories of media are also stored in their own folders separate from other media. It can/will take time to set up, but there are apps out there that will organize and rename / relocate files to take some of the burden off your shoulders. MediaMonkey being one such app, but there are many others.
