Re: Empty monitor folder causes weird situation

Hi Kick4U,
I've been doing some testing with <Movie> metadata files today, and adding "Movies" to MMCM.
I've noticed a few issues. One, even though it exports the <Movie> mymovies.xml file, My Movies doesn't seem to export the artwork for these "Movies". That's a real bummer.
Since I've been working on a new metadata exporter tool for My Movies, I was hopeful that I could grab the artwork from the API. Sure enough, using the Movie ID, I can grab the MoviePoster via the API, which is great, but there is a second problem: The API doesn't ever give me the Movie ID, or even list these Movies at all. The only place I can find the Movie ID is inside these mymovies.xml <Movie> files.
So my question for you is this: Do you already have artwork in your media folders along with the mymovies.xml files, or is the artwork missing for you too?
