@Orbital Shark , thanks again! Works with the movies I have tried so far! Screen:

P.S What does the file2folder.bat do?

The File2Folder will place all single files bunched up in one folder into a folder for each file named after the file

Just place it in the folder with files and run and into folders they will go!

Orbital Shark, you da man!!
I just wish id seen this a few hours ago, I've spent the last 2-3 hrs. putting my 150GB worth of movies into separate folders with folder.jpg's and then changing the picture sizes to 240x320....manually

I'm just gonna go drown myself now LOL

P.S What does the file2folder.bat do?

As Demonseed suggested, it creates a folder based on the movie filename and moves it into that folder e.g. Fast & Furious (2009).avi will have a folder named Fast & Furious (2009) (minus the .avi ) and will be moved into it.

WMC will still detect the folder.jpg and use it as a poster, but unless there's a DVDID.XLM file then there will be no metadata (e.g. synopsis).

Thanks to DemonSeed with This Link to Tyborg's app.

I've now managed to use Photoshop to 'Batch' save all the folder.png files as folder.jpg which gives Media Center a nice look in the Movie Library.

   Note

PNG files cannot be used as folder posters, and JPG files have no transparency but the effect is still quite nice

Cool!! Glad that worked out for ya!

i was just tinkering around with my movie library and noticed that my cast and crew, similar movies n all that junk are missing i cant remember if they were ever there to begin with but i downloaded and installed the latest version of yammm but still no go all i have is the synopsis and actions. i opened up some of the xml files i can see the cast and crew listed in there but it doesnt show up n media center

is there a setting i missed in yammm to display this information?

edit: nevermind a little while after i made this post it all appeared
