Hello guys,

I cant get fanart to show when i select a movie.

Im in showcase mode, and libary mode to..

What am i doing wrong?

I have the following files to all my movies:

50 First Dates.iso (movie file)
50 First Dates.tbn (dvd cover file)
50 First Dates.nfo (movie informations from IMDB)
50 First Dates-fanart.bmp (fanart backdrop)

If you want fanart to show automatically it has to be a .png or .jpg and be named moviename-fanart.jpg. However, your .bmp will work just fine if you want to set fanart manually. Just bring up the movie info dialog and go to fanart-> Browse -> moviename-fanart.bmp. Hope that helps. Cheers.
