Fanart on folders?

[DanielG]

Hello there,

Sorry if this has been up before, I've tried looking through documentation and searching on the forums without finding specific answers for my problem.

My problem is regarding fanart. I have no problems getting fanart on files, but I'm unable to get them on the folders with the movie inside it (I get the posters though).

As you may know by now, my folder structure is like this:
D:\Movies\Moviename\movie.mkv

Is it somehow possible to get fanart on the folders?

Any help is highly appreciated! Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response. However this still doesn't seem to solve my problem. There's still only fanart when hoovering over the actual mkv file, not the folder it's in. I also tried naming the fanart file to the folder name instead with no luck.

Have you set the content to enable 'use folder names for lookup'.

[DanielG]

Yup, done that already :/

And you're in library mode?
What skin?

Is this the best way to store movies, with each movie in a seperate folder ? I have all my movies dumped in the \Movies\ folder and it works fine for me so is there an advantage to storing each movie in its own folder, I get the feeling i'm missing out on something?

Cheers....

Had a problem getting it to work in library mode, but everything seems to work good now.
To CMitch, it's easier to manage the different fanart files, etc. makes no difference otherwise, except that you can use fanart in file mode as well..

aahh right cheers for that. It just seems like too much trouble creating folders for each and eevry film. I'll keep mine just the way it is thanks.
