Could anyone tell me why this is? I really like the posters/covers look but I go into library mode and I get these horribly stretched out screenshots. I've reinstalled and tried a bunch of different skins, it's the same in them all. Mainly using Transparency! though.
Would love to fix this:

Movies: In Library Mode:


Movies: Not in Library Mode:


Movie Set Content Menu:


TV Set Content Menu:


I believe it's being scraped correctly since plot/studio info & such is being populated:


Debug here

I'm guessing this has something to do with it but not sure how to fix it:

Selected folder contains a single TV show is probably wrong. I'm guessing you're setting it on your tvshows folder, which contains multiple tvshows.

Similarly, you appear to have each movie in it's own folder, so tell the scanner that!

Selected folder contains a single video is grayed out under Movies... I don't think it was always that way and I think I've tried having it both ways before... but atm it's grayed out.

I've been doing some searching and can't figure out why "Selected folder contains a single video" is grayed out under my movies content settings.

You should read a little more carefully he was specifically talking about TV shows

I've been doing some searching and can't figure out why "Selected folder contains a single video" is grayed out under my movies content settings.

That option for movies is only available when you select "use folder names for lookups"

If you using local artwork and your movies are in folders you should probably select "use folder names for lookups" anyway

And DON'T select "selected folder contains a single video".

[PlutoISaPlanet]

And DON'T select "selected folder contains a single video".

for tv shows or movies?
Sorry... I'm reading "selected folder contains a single video" as meaning the folder the video is in... or does "selected folder" mean the root?

In any case I've tried it both ways now and it's still not grabbing thumbs & fanart. - For MOVIES. TV Shows are working fine.

selected folder is the folder you selected. PLEASE let us know how we can make this clearer!

I'm sorry to be frustrating you. I'm pretty sure I have the concept figured out, however it's not making a difference. I still get screencaps in library mode for my movies.

OK... just added this movie to my library a few nights ago and it appears to be the only one that's showing up correctly:

Delete the video thumbnails folder and let XBMC get them again.

[>>X<<]

Do as hitcher says I would also delete the db as well and scan again

Thumbs already there wont update just by scanning again you either have to do the above or refresh each one

Have you read the wiki because its pretty good if your just starting out with xbmc

Out of curiosity, how can XBMC have different thumbs in file mode and library mode?

Did all that, wound up with the same results. Hot Tub Time Machine still looks right and so does District 9 (which I just added today)

Far as I can tell they're not named differently than other files, the folder names are exactly the name of the movies... I don't know what's up.

Had a similar problem when recently updated xbmc, I just had to manually refresh each movie and reselect each thumb.

So to spell it out a little...

Press i on the movie you want, choose refresh, then choose correct thumb (it may choose correct thumb when you refresh anyhow)
