I can't get the big poster to show on the info view. Here's my file layout that I've been using:

300 (2006).hddvd.mkv
300 (2006).hddvd.mkv-big.png
300 (2006).hddvd.nfo
300 (2006).hddvd.tbn
300 (2006).hddvd-fanart.jpg

The *-big.png is just a jpg renamed. I even made it a completely different poster image than my regular tbn and it still wouldn't show when I press info. The version of Aeon Stark I'm using is the very latest (I downloaded from github two hours ago).

i am having the same problem, i haven't really messed about with aeon much so far. the -big.png i can't get to work, whereas with the first stark release they were working but seemed to be showing a lack of resolution, i thought maybe that was something to do with my display at 1600x1050, i will find out when i get it downstairs...

There's no need to use -big.png anymore as Aeon now uses the movie.tbn as long as your movies are stored in their own folders.

But who stores every movie in a separate folder, really? ;-P

LOL I just redid my whole collection. It took me a good while, but it was worth it.

Amen to that. Didn't really take me all that long to complete thanks to a nice little batch file that was floating around to move the move files automatically. Threw MIP into the mix and I was all set.

I'd suggest to use rather then <moviename>.jpg to use just the actual word movie.jpg. I think your problem is with the extension 300 (2006).hddvd.mkv-big.png

it should be 300 (2006).hddvd-big.png or better even better, rename it to movie.tbn

When using the -big method the file extension is supposed to be in there. His naming convention was correct.

Not me.

Even if I did get around to moving everything to their own folder, I'm not sure I would want to change the filenames to movie.nfo, movie.tbn, etc. I like the actual name of the jpg's and nfo to be exactly same as the movie name. That way it's easy to find them when doing a search in the Vista start menu.

I would like ot know the answer to this as well. I want to use a lower res thumb and higher res for the big picture.

Why not exactly?
When I tell Alt.Binz where to extract my movies all I have to do is make a new folder and MIP does the rest.
It makes it a lot tidier and a lot easier when deleting movies as I only have to delete the folder.

Movies/Point Of No Return/Point.Of.No.Return.1993.720p.BluRay.x264-CiNEFiLE.mkv
Movies/Point Of No Return/movie.nfo
Movies/Point Of No Return/movie.tbn
Movies/Point Of No Return/fanart.jpg
Movies/Point Of No Return/folder.jpg

Use separate folders and just get the high res poster and name it movie.tbn.

thanks...

aha!

[Anacotic]

If i understand that right, i have to place a Highres picture in my movies folder and name it movie.tbn?

looks like that:
Movies/Underworld/Underword.Blueray.1080p.DTS.mkv
Movies/Underworld/Underword.Blueray.1080p.DTS.nfo
Movies/Underworld/Underword.Blueray.1080p.DTS-fanart.jpg
Movies/Underworld/Underword.Blueray.1080p.DTS.tbn <- small preview
Movies/Underworld/movie.tbn <- big for the details

thats right?

[Hitcher]

Just movie.tbn will do as XBMC will cache it (for use as the small posters) and Aeon will pull it directly for the large poster.
