DVD Cover art in DVD folders already

[Email68]

All my DVD's have the cover art in their folder from My Movies. The artwork is folder.jpg

Now that I'm using diamond, the phoenix artwork is not finding half of my movies. I was careful to title them based on IMDB when they were ripped.

Anyway, I'd rather not maintain a different artwork database, is there a way to pickup the my movies artwork from the dvd folder instead of using Phoenix?

there is an option for this. I think it's under main menu > setup > diamond options.

I've not used it, but have seen it, and it seems to do exactly what you need.

Thanks Matt.

All I can find is Main Menu > Detailed Setup > Diamond Fanart

If this is it, its not clear how to change it to use the my mobiles data.

If you are using My Movies and all your movies are in their own folders My Movies Collection Management software can be setup to save covers and backgrounds in the individual movie folders.

In Diamond you still need BMT/Phoenix installed for the metadata, but you can tell Diamond to use the My Movies images rather than the BMT fanart images by going into Main Menu/Detailed Setup/Diamond Fanart/ and then setting "Use Folder Posters First" to On and also "Use Folder Backgrounds First" to on and then specifing the naming that the images are stored in i.e. "Poster.jpg" and "Background.jpg" by going into "Set Folder Image Name" and "Set Background Image Name"

The name selection options are not visible until you turn on the first two settings.

Actually you don't have to have Phoenix/bmt for mymovies unless you are wanting tv data as well just set mymovies collection manager to output properties files and images to the folders. Bmt/Phoenix is not required.
