First time for me on this forum, and I have been using MC since V12 and refuse to move to anything else
I've had my problems over the years, sometimes making me try another media players, and after tinkering (and Googling) always managed to help myself solve it and always return to old faithful!! Ive even purchased dedicated media players devices in the past, and they they are only great for door-stoppers (we have a lot of wind in this area)!
BUT NOW I"M STUMPED!! Please can anyone help me on this one.
All the previous MC versions - I always save a copy of the artwork next to my video files under the video_ts directory (it didn't matter if I used the folder.jpg format or xxxxx.jpg) and MC always picked up the cover art for display (under both normal and theater view).
I have two pc's linked wirelessly, a NAS on the network, two 2GB external drives etc etc.
I have tried simplifying everything (disconnecting all external hardware / wireless connections / NAS) to end up with just one basic PC with a couple of DVD movies on my internal hard-drive (networking and folder sharing did cause problems in the past, so I wanted to eliminate every possible issue) -
If I do a complete reinstall of MC16 - all is 100% OK
If I do the same with MC17 - no cover art for videos. I have a collection of 700 odd DVD movies (all legally copied from my personal collection), but following the trial and tribulations of the previous two members, and is looking more and more that I am going to have to create a complex system of cover art files/folder, do a lot of renaming and well as apply the link to each movie one by one. This would be a nightmare and time-consuming process for me!!! ?
PLEASE PLEASE guys, can we not just have the old method of storing you cover-art in the same folder as before. Still have all your advanced feature as well, but please for the old-schoolers can we have the old method back as well!!!
Many many thanks for the best MC there is - just love it

OR - AM I JUST MISSING A SMALL POINT SOMEWHERE, that would be embarrasing, but perhaps I could use my old media players for a whack on the head!!!
