TV series need to be as so

Heroes/Heroes Season 1/Heroes 01x01 - Pilot

Or s01e01 and so on

and MB will show them correctly

Zay, can you edit your post and use multi quote instead of making multiple post, Thank you.

I dont think so
I think hes got all movies in one folder and each movie in one of its own also

My apologies Mr Grim, but not to be funny, but I would multi quote if I was replying to more than one quotes. But I see your point. The reason for multiple post is because after posting and logging off, I either finally remembered to post something either relating or not relating to a prior post. But once again, my apologies. Just for clarification, am I on a post limit plan, lol, JK.

To get a pic you need every video in its own folder named after the movie
but Zay has an easy way for you to do just that here

Same thing put them in a folder named after the movie!
MB will do the rest!

I don't need to. It's doing all the work already

Even with my movies all in the 1 folder.

Ok, here's how i've got it working.

I have 2 directories in My Videos (Library->Videos), Movies & TV Series. Both have been added seperately using the configuration tool in the start menu. I have 5 films in 'Movies' & all 5 show images, synopsis, cast & more. In TV Series I have 'Heroes' & 'Supernatural' within both of those is 'Season 1', 'Season 2' & so on. In each of those is the files s01e01.avi (or anything close) onwards up to the end of the season.

All files are showing perfectly with all details. I've noticed that even if you just add empty directories (e.g. TV Series->Lost->Season 1) then the images & details will be downloaded regardless of whether or not you actually have the video files. This is very handy if you want to catalog a form of WISH LIST.
