Thanks for your consideration in this.

I am sure that I coded MC to download extra fanart from No 2 to 5, so the first fanart is what's allocated to -fanart.jpg, and 2 to 5 are saved as extrafanart (or extrathumb).

I'll have to do some testing and see what's happening. Let ya know.

Yes, I understand.... I scraped a few new movies with MC and it only downloads No 1 and 2, not 3 -5. Hope that makes sense.

On another note, I'm trying to get the XBMC LINK to work, but keep getting errors in the message box but when I click on View Log, it gives me the whole continue or quit options because of some exception error.

Have you downloaded the latest MC, new one release couple hours ago, MC3.573b. There was a glitch when clicking validate, causing a Crash. That's been fixed in this release.

I want the ability to change the Poster in MC and have XBMC follow suit. I imagine that is part of the reason you guys Linked XBMC to begin with. I'm not really sure what you mean in the troubleshooting document where it says-

"Delete file access needed in the Thumbnails folder for fanart & poster updates to work."

Could you elaborate.

Hey John

Just did a test with Movie Smokey and the Bandit in a folder, enabled Download extra fanart while scraping, and MC saved four fanart images in extrafanart folder.

Um, its working for me.

Could it be possible some of the movies you have, only have one or two fanart images? Check by going to the fanart tab, see how many load up.

The only thing I am not able to get working is the Poster. If I change the Poster in MC, it still doesn't change in XBMC on the Movies screen. I've backed out of movies and even restarted XBMC with no change.

I think I found out the problem. When I change the artwork in MC for the Poster, it saves it in the Movie folder as "poster.jpg" not "movie name-poster.jpg"

I'm going to work to figure out why this is happening. I scraped the movie with MC and it saved the original poster as "movie name-poster.jpg"

Yep, that was the problem. I found out where the option was to save poster and fanart as 'poster.jpg' and 'fanart.jpg' Sorry for the trouble. Maybe someone else can benefit from my mistakes.
