Need setup help on new server

[heffneil]

Guys I setup a new server. I moved the wiz.bin to the new server and re-ran the refresh library. I think most of the movies have data but it looks like all or most of the movie posters / images are gone. It has been a long long time since I originally configured BMT so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Neil

Install the bmt web ui, and then set the location of your central fanart (Confiure -> Phoenix -> Fanart/Metadata Options -> Central Fanart Folder).

That should be it, provided that your existing Wiz.bin still retained all the other custom metadata fields.

BMT UI was installed (maybe it isnt!?) going to double check but the web interface is for sure! The location is set properly and does exist.

I'll go check #1 right now!

Thanks!

Yeah the web UI works just fine I am in there playing around. I have SOME fanart but not a lot. In other words a majority of it is missing. Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help!

So it is configured to use this directory: userdata/Phoenix/Fanart

I go in there and I have TV and Movies. When I go in to Movies there are only 25 directories where I have over 500 movies in my library.

Oy vey!

i just added some new movies and the metadata was found but the fanart isn't there.... I remember something about IMDB changing the way they were providing posters or the way the screen scrape was working. This was several months ago so I don't know if it still applies but I have IMDB as the first place to get the good stuff from?

When searching on IMDB for Transformers it showed links to images that were not working. When I clicked on it it said that this site might not allow others to embed their images?

I tend to just use tmdb. I'm not sure if imdb is broken or not.
