Notes

  1. available as a shortcut on the Toolbar
  2. title's data source must be the My Movies web service to perform this action
  3. honors the locked data and locked covers setting for the title (if data is locked it will not update, same for covers)
  4. see the forum post "Cover Art Submission Standards- read if you are uploading cover art" for information on cover image standards
  5. if the image is the proper ratio, the software will split the image into front and back covers and replace both, otherwise it will just replace the front cover
  6. be sure to read and follow the Contribution Guide
  7. report any titles which do not follow the Contribution Guide
  8. you may make the correction and contribute it before reporting, however, doing so may result in not recieving points for the contribution
