Hi all,

I wonder if someone can cast any light on my problem. I have just changed the naming convention of my movie artwork from:

Movie-name-fanart ----> fanart.jpg
Movie-name-poster ---> poster.jpg

A lot of my files were .tbn files, so I used software called bulk renamer utility to convert them all to poster.jpg files. I have a large library and ended up free loads of space from redundant files. All went well. I then cleaned out my movie database on XBMC and rescanned my movie library. But a lot of my movies are coming up with generated artwork instead of posters. I have checked my folders and everything seems to be in order.
I have tried refreshing individual movies, I have deleted the contents of AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails folder, with Textures13.db to force XBMC to rescan the art, but the same thing happens.

I have realised that I have accidentally renamed the posters to Poster.jpg instead of the lowecase poster.jpg. I changed to lowercasing on one movie to test, but same results.

Is there something in the .nfo that I am supposed to change?
For some individual well known movies I can simply rescrape in media companion and it sorts everything out. But I have some movies that are not in any scraper so I had to add the artwork manually from sources such as google.

Here is some screenshots to explain more..

Folder Structure


Shaolin Master Killer.nfo

I am using XBMC 12.3
Skin: Aeon Nox (same thing happens with Confluence)

I dont understand why XBMC is ignoring the poster.jpg files

I hope someone can help as there are too many files to do individually.

*Edit*

Apologies, it seems it was my error. It turns out it is case sensitive. Poster.jpg is NOT poster.jpg to XBMC. Although I did try before it was not updating to show me the poster immediately. I used the Bulk Rename Utility to change all my files to poster.jpg.

If on windows you can easily find all the files you want to rename with the windows search then drag them to the Bulk Rename Utility. I'll leave this post just in case it helps someone else who runs into the problem I had.
