Ya know, I just really do not understand the way this is working....

I gave XBMC Media Center Companion a try (Latest avail build). I scanned all of my movies, and spent the better part of 5-10 hours correcting the movies that it got incorrect. I then wrote a script to go into each of my movie folders, and make a copy of the "mymovies-front.jpg" (Nice Hi-Res images) and rename the copy to "Movie Title.tbn.".

I do not want to talk you out from using XBMCCompanion, but didn't you already had all the information needed in MM xmls?

Thinking everything was done, the .nfo's were already in place, all the .tbn cover art was in place, Available fanart was in place and thought that would be then end of it.

Problem is that your .nfos are being ignored when XBMC finds mymovies.xml. If you want to use nfos, try renaming mymovies.xml.

Here are the files that I have in one folder as an example:

• 2 Fast 2 Furious.avi
  
• 2 Fast 2 Furious.nfo
  
• 2 Fast 2 Furious.tbn
  
• 2 Fast 2 Furious-fanart.jpg
  
• mymovies.xml
  
• mymovies-back.jpg
  
• mymovies-front.jpg
  

In that scenario, info should be gathered from mymovies.xml, mymovies-front.jpg should be used as DVD cover, and 2 Fast 2 Furious-fanart.jpg shown. This is the way I'm using it and I can confirm that works.

If you are not getting that, I would suggest you to try different XBMC build. I can confirm that 16450 build works fine with above:

http://ocs.nl/xbmc/Archive/XBMCSetup-Rev16450.exe

I would stick with that before next stable release. I had problems with thumbnails on builds 165xx, and I am not sure it was fixed in newer builds.

Hope that helps.
