Hello Everyone,
I'm in the process of rescraping my files as I selected new ones using Media Center Master and I'm having an issue getting Kodi to use the poster.jpg file for all my movies. When I refresh my library in Kodi, instead of using the poster.jpg file that has the correct artwork, it's pulling the poster from the NFO created by Media Center Master which is wrong. I verified this by manually changing the URL in the NFO which caused Kodi to grab the correct poster artwork. I found this odd because the wiki makes it sound like Kodi should always be using the poster.jpg file for the poster artwork.
For file layout, I have a folder for all my movies (N:\Movies) with each movie in it's own folder (N:\Movies\MovieTitle). All files relating to the movie are then stored in the MovieTitle folder. Using the movie 300 as an example, the poster for 300 would be found at N:\Movies\300 (2006)\poster.jpg
I could go into every NFO file stored on my NAS and manually adjust the URL, but I'm wondering if there is something I can add to my advancedsettings.xml file to tell Kodi to use the poster.jpg file for poster artwork? I'll post my advancedsettings.xml in the next post so you can see how it is setup. If I do need change something, could you please explain what I need to type in and where it should go since I'm not well-versed on creating xml files.
One other question, I noticed that for all my movies that are in a 16:9 aspect ratio, Kodi's info screen lists them as 11:4. A check of the metadata shows the aspect ratio as 16:9, so I'm wondering if this might be a settings issue with my Kodi or my skin? (I'm using Aeon Nox 5)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
