Downloade covers. organising?

hey when the program downloads the covers for my movies,  They're just trown into the same folder were my movies are, so now i have 1000plus fils.

can you give an example? the startup wizard asked if you wanted to save artwork within your media folders. you can still disable it now.

My movies are in folder called Movies.

When I used the program, and covers are download, there placed in that folder.

 

So if have 100 movies there's no 300 files in that folder. Does that make sense

some people want that, some people don't. that's why the startup wizard asks you in advance and you have a chance to say no, don't do that.

You can turn off the local copies of the files as Luke said, but I'd really recommend keeping it on and just organizing your movies a bit.  It will help.  Here's my structure & it works really well for keeping everything organized.

Movies1 (Shared folder)

>HD

>>A Bug's Life (1998)

>>Brave (2012)

>SD

>>Fantasia (1940)

>>Fantasia 2000 (1999)

 

Each movie in its own folder with the release date in parentheses.  Local metadata and images for each movie get dropped in the folder with the movie file automatically and I almost never have trouble with the server correctly recognizing the movie.

 

I have a library setup called Movies HD pointed at \\ServerName\Movies1\HD and another called Movies SD pointed to \\ServerName\Movies1\SD.  When that drive fills up I bring up a new share on a new drive called, quite creatively I'll note, Movies2 and repeat the process.  Since the type on all the libraries is Movies they all show up together in the client but keeping the libraries separate also lets me see just HD movies if I want to filter that way instead of by genre or whatever.
