Media Center- Setup Movie Library

hi, i've just stumbled across this ace tutorial but can't seem to get it working!? im not interested in yammm at the moment but i just want to have the cover art in each folder displayed in windows 7 media player.. i;ve downloaded the file2folder download, extracted it to my movies and run it which put the movie files into their own folder... i then searched google for a pic of my movies and right clicked on them, save as folder.jpg, then i copied it into the movie folder i wanted. when i started media center still no cover art?! anything im doing wrong? thanks

Hmmm... what you describe sounds right. Does a typical album folder look like this? (Notice it is named folder, and its type is jpg... it's not folder.jpg with a type of file folder.

I had this problem before, I can't quite remember what i did to fix it. I'll brain storm for a bit and see what I can remember. I still have some issues with it. Some folders display a graphic, some don't.

i think i've got it right.. can you just check?





.....on a side note, is that windows 7 in your screenshot..how did you get it with a black theme?

It looks OK to me too. Hmmm... I don't know why it isn't working for you. If anything occurs to me I'll let you know.

Oh, and if you want a black theme, you can start here: https://www.sevenforums.com/themes-st...x86-final.html

Hi,
I've just installed Yammm and it's done what its meant to do, however i've put some new movies in the folder WMC looks in and none of them seem to be appearing! Anyone got any ideas why this might happen?

The movie folder has been renamed and populated with the XML file just like all the others.

Sorry for the slow reply! You were completely right, it didnt show up even after a reboot at first, but eventually everything appeared! I'll just have to be a bit more patient with it sometimes
