Can't get DVD cover art to appear in STV

[jnasser]

Hi,

I am a new user of STV, and am going down a steep learning curve.

Have installed BMT and have gotten to the point where I see all the text info about actors, etc along with the DVD listings in STV.

But, although I was able to get BMT to show the cover art along with each movie, I cannot get the thumbnail to appear alongside the movie title in STV.

Can anyone tell me how to go about displaying it?? Also, where and what format must it have ?

Thanks,
Jacques

Jacques, assuming you've read the stickies (ie the top few posts in the bmt forum) have you installed any Fanart plugins? BMT will require a fanart plugin, and I list a bunch of plugins that use bmt here.

You may want to mention in the 2 plugins by JREkiwi that you want to remove the previous plugins that they were merged from. So for Complementary Metadata Tool (CMT) you need to remove the previous Read, Write and Edit Metadata and IMDB Search plugin for SageTV 7.1.

And for Phoenix Fanart for SageTV by JREkiwi you need to remove Phoenix Fanart for SageTV V7 by bialio and Phoenix Fanart for Malore Menus by tmiranda, Tiki.
