I am creating nfo files for movies on imdb that have no metadata or images.

For a poster I assume that I alter this line: <thumb>http://ia.ec.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/25/65/31/10f.jpg</thumb>

What is the syntax that I need for single / multiple background images though?

Just add another <thumb>. XBMC will automatically choose the first one but will let you to switch from the video info dialog. For more information on using nfo files see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Nfo

Thanks vdrfan - I was already referencing the page that you linked. So I should use:

<thumb>http://myserver/a.jpg</thumb>
<thumb>http://myserver/b.jpg</thumb>

I don't understand how xbmc knows which image is the poster and which is the backdrop (is it looking at the properties of each image)?

You specify fanart using the <fanart> tag.

Jep, as jm said.

Example:

Code:
<fanart>

        <thumb>http://cf2.imgobject.com/t/p/original/eImirNCS7sbfzq8AJRTd40PGSuS.jpg</thumb>

</fanart>

Great, thank you both very much for your help Smile
