open tvshow.nfo in your series folder
after

<plot>...</plot> should be <thumb>http://..</thumb>

this is where xbmc is getting information for the database. try opening the links and see if it loads the images. my guess is that you will get 404 error

i can confirm the <thumb> tag is empty in the .nfo for movies. i honestly cant find the link between xbmc and the image. its stored in appdata folder but in the db its just not there.

we need someone who knows how the media managers and xbmc work.

ask the author of the media manager to pass through the thumb url?

i successfully got banners to work by changing this line to <thumb>e:\tv series\american dad\folder.jp</thumb>


first try the web links.im almost certain the banners have changed location on thetvdb.com

You're a genius my friend and you should know it. Indeed my .nfo files were apparently broken as there was nothing within the "thumb" field (namely <thumb />). Yet when I point the file to a manually-saved wide-icon or a recently-checked link and rescan the media, nothing really changes. I get more dots between the errors, but that's it, no graphics in the remote. I think we're nearing the solution though, thanks again for your help

Anyway, later this day (it's 4 AM here, FGS) I'll play a little more with the .nfo files and check where will it lead me to.

BTW, where does the scanning process save its' info to? Is there some file I could edit to sort it out? Because apparently it is scanning it in order not to use the same db as XBMC. Or am I getting something wrong here?
Cheers
