Media browser searching for movies I have a box set of star wars. I cannot get wallpaper or icon to load for the box set. No I have found Meta Browser and assumed it could be used to find the proper title for some of my problem movie filters. How can I search for this type of thing???

Thank you Demonseed
As for the Metadata and xml files where and how do you go about finding these? may be a dumb question but here goes.
The movie folders I have are used to find the info (genre, actors, run time, etc, etc. I thought that Metabrowser would let me search for the info manually so that I could enter the correct name(s) on some of my movies that were not found automatically. But I cant get the metabrowser to work for me. any links to topics on this and or how to name movies correctly?
also, when looking at the details of a movie, when I go into the actors for the movie I dont get any pics. Is this something that should be automatic? or a setting I need to change?
thanks. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dv7 OS w7 dual boot vista32 CPU Core2Duo T5800 2GHz Motherboard HP Memory 4gig Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT |

thanks. When a movie wont list right just right click it at treat as movie, then you will see what you were looking for.
The actors wount show if you have not shown Meta browser where you imagesbyname folder is.
After you show it, it will dl the actors into that folder. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built Rig BY ME "My Baby" OS 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Athlon 64X2 4600+ 2.51Ghz Motherboard ASUS M2N-E SLI Memory 6GB DDR2 900 Kingston Graphics Card 2x BFG Nvidia 9600 GT-OC Sound Card SoundBlaster XF-I Monitor(s) Displays 19"acer, 22"acer, 19"acer, 48" HITACHI HDTV Screen Resolution 1400x900, 1680x1050, 1400x900, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech (Bluetooth) Mouse Logitech (Bluetooth) PSU BFG 800 Watt SLI Power Supply Case Game Master Cooling Thermotake Hard Drives Seagate 500GB Sata

"When a movie wont list right just right click it at treat as movie, then you will see what you were looking for." In Meta/Browser, you said it shows the meta hohe pagh on some movies. On those, right click the folder and set to "Treat as Movie"
The "imagesbyname" folder goes in the C:/ProgramData/MediaBrowser/imagesbyname
(ProgramData is a hidden Folder)
If you read my post a little better you will see everything you want to know about the imagesbyname folder.
I also have my folder available for download to give you a jump start on building a soled collection of actors images. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built Rig BY ME "My Baby" OS 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Athlon 64X2 4600+ 2.51Ghz Motherboard ASUS M2N-E SLI Memory 6GB DDR2 900 Kingston Graphics Card 2x BFG Nvidia 9600 GT-OC Sound Card SoundBlaster XF-I Monitor(s) Displays 19"acer, 22"acer, 19"acer, 48" HITACHI HDTV Screen Resolution 1400x900, 1680x1050, 1400x900, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech (Bluetooth) Mouse Logitech (Bluetooth) PSU BFG 800 Watt SLI Power Supply Case Game Master Cooling Thermotake Hard Drives Seagate 500GB Sata

and you wonder why I said that the program is one of the most difficult to understand. I like what it does...but the process to make it work is not very well documented (from what I have found)
I am NOT green when it comes to making programs like this work (I regularly do things like making a x86 OSX mac OS work on PC's I know my way around computers. This software is painful) I will stick with it, but the amount of time I have spent on it is starting to turn me off...hell at the end of the day its just to play my movies and TV shows... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dv7 OS w7 dual boot vista32 CPU Core2Duo T5800 2GHz Motherboard HP Memory 4gig Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT |

Create the folder and you'll be on you way.
afterwords using meta/browser go in the options and show it the folder as well.  Note turn off MB when adding the folder
And you right its not very well documented, that's why I put together that monster of a post! Telling all about it and how to set it up.
All you need to do is spend a good hour and read everything that is in my post firs page and it will (or should be) clear as day. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built Rig BY ME "My Baby" OS 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Athlon 64X2 4600+ 2.51Ghz Motherboard ASUS M2N-E SLI Memory 6GB DDR2 900 Kingston Graphics Card 2x BFG Nvidia 9600 GT-OC Sound Card SoundBlaster XF-I Monitor(s) Displays 19"acer, 22"acer, 19"acer, 48" HITACHI HDTV Screen Resolution 1400x900, 1680x1050, 1400x900, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech (Bluetooth) Mouse Logitech (Bluetooth) PSU BFG 800 Watt SLI Power Supply Case Game Master Cooling Thermotake Hard Drives Seagate 500GB Sata

thanks for all the help. I have started to update all my movies.
One question I had was in regards to actors. Meta Browser "downloads" the actors but most of the actors pictures do not show up (big name ones for the most part dont show up). any ideas? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion dv7 OS w7 dual boot vista32 CPU Core2Duo T5800 2GHz Motherboard HP Memory 4gig Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT |

Yea there being pulled from the MovieDB which is still very young, and there is still a lot of growing still for them to go as a host of info. But unlike IMDB it is legal to pull from MovieDB for commercial use. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built Rig BY ME "My Baby" OS 7 Ultimate x64 CPU AMD Athlon 64X2 4600+ 2.51Ghz Motherboard ASUS M2N-E SLI Memory 6GB DDR2 900 Kingston Graphics Card 2x BFG Nvidia 9600 GT-OC Sound Card SoundBlaster XF-I Monitor(s) Displays 19"acer, 22"acer, 19"acer, 48" HITACHI HDTV Screen Resolution 1400x900, 1680x1050, 1400x900, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech (Bluetooth) Mouse Logitech (Bluetooth) PSU BFG 800 Watt SLI Power Supply Case Game Master Cooling Thermotake Hard Drives Seagate 500GB Sata
