Title: Cover Art
Post by: bobh1 on January 05, 2020, 11:40:57 am

Many apologies for what must be a very repetitive post but I've looked everywhere I can think of and come up with nothing. I'll keep the question simple - how do I get MC 26 to go online and retrieve cover art?

Cover Art for what? Movies? TV Shows? Audio Albums?

For movies, basically the "Get Movie & TV Info" function does the job.

For existing movies, select the movie record(s) in MC Standard View, right-click on one of the selected files, and click the "Get Movie & TV Info" function. There is also a whole "Cover Art" sub-menu in the right-click menu, for more Cover Art manipulation.

For future movies you import to get the metadata automatically, make sure that the "Get Movie & TV Info" option is selected in the Auto Import options.

I'm afraid the Wiki articles on the whole subject aren't great, with respect to movies. But in addition to the above:
