Hi, I have a question, is it possible to load the backcovers .jpg i have stored in my movie folders, instead of the "assembled" ones in library Shelf 3D view? 

Where in "View_595_Shelf3D.xml" are the Movie Cases backsides described? (somewhere under line 1196!?)

Is it possible to define a new arttype for that (backcover.jpg e.g.) in advancedsettings.xml? like it is described here: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=337089 ,or am i getting this wrong?

thank you in advance!

Of course you can... and you should whenever possible, it’s way cooler... In fact you can also use custom “spines“. You don’t have to mess with the xml, you only need to put back.jpg and/or spine.jpg images beside the rest of the artwork in the movie folder and use the method you mentioned, adding those two new arttypes to advancedsettings.xml 

...wow, it works, that was easy, cool, thank you for your help! Now i have to batch copy and rename my .jpg files then it'll be close to perfect.
