I used the following format.
DVD folder/VIDEO_TS.nfo
DVD folder/VIDEO_TS.tbn
DVD folder/VIDEO_TS-trailer.avi (or mpg, wmv, etc)
DVD folder/VIDEO_TS-fanart.jpg
The origional site for fanart, moviebackdrops.com is unfortunately no more, but the fanart has been moved to http://www.meligrove.com. I'll add this shortly.
By DVD folder/ I presume you mean the VIDEO_TS folder? As this is where MC puts them all. So this is all correct. I think I should have been clearer, The problem I have is that your program works fine for all the data to be viewed in Library mode but to be able to see the artwork in File mode it needs to be duplicated;
\Batman\folder.jpg (coverart - visible in File Mode)
\Batman\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.tbn (coverart - visible in Library Mode)
\Batman\fanart.jpg (fanart - visible in File Mode)
\Batman\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS-fanart.jpg (fanart - visible in Library mode)
\Batman\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.nfo (obvious nfo data)
Not downloaded any trailers so cannot comment but will try tonight
As you can see for the covers and fanart to be visible in File and Library mode they have to be duplicated with different names and locations. I had to write a script to copy/rename all my cover art when I started to use Plex. I will try out some more things tonight and let you know.
I have posted on Plex`s site to see if it is possible for it to pick up fanart and coverart from one location for Folder and File view, will have to see if it is. In the mean time would it be possible for you to change MC and add an option to allow for folder view of artwork and have it make duplicates of the coverart and fanart as described above?
Thanks for your time.
