When you are in the actual movie list, select the style you wish to use, be it List, Showcase or whatever (I personally use Showcase) then press the UP arrow until the top menus appear. Move RIGHT onto the ART menu and then make sure the "Extra Fan Art" node is toggled on (has the spot to the right / lit). Then you should see all the backgrounds relating to the movie selected, provided of course you have downloaded more than one image per movie!

Is there a way to sync fan art backdrop to the movies?

Second question, when the above problem is fixed is there a way to rotate through multiple fan art back drops? Some movies have 3 separate pics from the web. Keeping in mind I don't want to set up each individual move just something that could change universally. This is seen in my TV shows menu. I tried to match the settings from TV shows to movies bit haven't been successful.

If I understand you right, you need to customize your "Movies" menu by customizing skin/homepage. In there, select the menu item for movies and then there is an option to enable/diasable, move location and to choose which "type" of backdrops there are.

If you are talking about specific movie titles, you need to select the top based menu items (depending on which mode you are using depends hom any times you need to press the "up" key) and then select, if I recall, the "art" menu. From there, you can choose to have curtains, backdrops, fanart, generic etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help. Extra fan art is turned on but again the movie backdrop/art that is displayed are from any movie that is in the same folder as the movie selected. For example I have all my pixar movies in the same folder so when CARS is selected Toy Story or CARS2 or CARS will be displayed. It's random but only for movies in the similar folder. I selected the Auto/clear option under art again to re-download the artwork. Same problem. This is the most beautiful skin but this problem alone makes me use another skin.

This was selected it is just that the Movie fanart is not correlating with the movie. This doesn't happen with other skins. Confluence for example each movie is correlated Toy Story with Toy Story etc. With Aeon MQ4 its a random fan art from the same folder as the movie file. I assume its the same folder of artwork.

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that you can use extrafan art if your movies are not separated into a folder for each movie.

The naming convention for fanart in Frodo has also changed, so this could be part of your issue? The FAQ explains here

I have a lot of movie and this project doesn't excite me since other skins have NO problem matching movie to fan art. Thought there might be an easier fix. Can't believe no one has had this issue, maybe they don't mind either

No Problem. I do find that things run much smoother if you have your movies in separate folders, but if you haven't done this previously and you have a large collection I guess that would be a pain to try and implement now.

Can be done with a simple batch script. Look up file2folder.bat
