Hi.

So i am just starting the big task of creating and finding all the thumbnails, fanart and NFO files etc for my movie collection of 736 movies.

I can tell you that it is taking a long time, but since my HTPC does not have internet (nor do i want it to) i want to have everything stored locally.

So, I'm just wondering if anybody can tell me where they get movie fanart from, as well as general backdrops for use in XBMC?

Thanks in advance.

You should install XBMC Media Companion on your PC. It will do the scanning for you and gather all the artwork itself and store everything locally. Here's a thread with info on where to get it http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33961

Is the Fanart Download broken in XBMC?

No.....you have to enable FanArt scraping in the options of the movie scraper you are using.

Hmm Somehow it doesnŽt work. Maybe a problem with the skin. IŽll check it again later.
The thing is, i did not change anything, but it doesnŽt work.
