    Default Boxee's automatic cover art

    Hi peeps,

    A question which as probably come up several times but I couldn't find any answer ...

    The BB has been setup accordingly with my NAS and works perfectly fine.
    Even the cover art goes automaticly, correct, and in English ...
    Now I don't bother it too much but my GF would rather see it in Dutch (native language).
    As it picks up the info from imdb.com, isn't it possible to redirect it to imdb.nl ??

    Thanks for the heads up.

    gtz, mikali

    No, unfortunately you can't use other sites/data for scanning/identifying. (The Box actually uses Boxee's servers, which is mash up of licensed data from the imdb.com database and data from thetvdb.com website).

    The best you can do is to use NFO files and manually edit the the NFO files to use Dutch.

    Well before I used "yamj to mede8er" for, obviously, my mede8er and it generated jpeg files.
    Isn't there a way I can disable to automatically generated cover art so it reads the jpeg files?

    If the cover art is name folder.jpg and each move is in its own folder, then you 1) add all the folder.jpg files, then 2) remove the sources from boxee and finally 3) re-add the sources so it rescans using the new folder.jpg files for your cover art.

    (Edit: on second thought instead of #2 and #3, you can probably go to Settings>>System>>Advance and choose the delete thumbnails option and then when boxee rescans, hopefully it will pick up the new cover art for you)
