Hi,

right now there's no possibility to use "locally saved" posters / backdrops. 
(Btw.: the arts are taken from TheMovieDB, resp. TheTvDb for tv shows - and not 
fromIMDb).

Anyhow: I was thinking about the possibility to provide the link to a different 
poster / backdrop by using an nfo file, but in that case you would need a 
single nfo file for every video you'd like to change the poster - and, as 
indicated, it's not yet implemented, since Schischu was about to provide an API 
for such tasks.

HTH & Cheers, Erik

Some ideas from my side:
If USE_FOLDERNAME is activated for a folder and this folder contains a file 
poster.png/jpg backdrop.png/jpg. The path to this file will be added to 
media.Poster ...
Also if a filename is provided by a xbmc.xml file.
Alternateivly as you said we could also add a way if an URL is provided, of 
cource we have to extend Arts.py again.

And we could add the possibility to change the Path for a poster... to the 
WebIf.

This is no dupe of issue #248 => the initial question was about using own arts 
for posters and backdrops. Since this is an ongoing discussion we should keep 
the defect rather than marking it duplicate.

Additionally I'd suggest marking issue #131 as duplicate of this one => here we 
already have some good suggestions on how to utilize the new Duckbox API... :-)

Does this mean that when adding a new movie in WebIf under manual add that you 
cannot add a poster or backdrop either?  I have tried linking to a file but 
cannot get this to work. FYI the movie was not being picked up in IMDB which is 
why I had to be manually add it. I have checked on themoviedb.org and the 
posters and backdrops are there. Thanks for any help with..
