Quote I can set custom cover art for my movie titles in the movie library.
It works normally in powerdvd 18.

Where do you store your movie files? Is it on a network drive?
The connection path change/refresh will reset the cover art assignment.

Move the movie files to local drive, and do the import and cover art assignment again.


No, that would be ludicrous and imposible to move all these files. My specific problem is PDVD 18 Ultra won't remember what I told it to do. I have external back up/media drives that are only used when I need them. If PDVD is running without those drives alive and active then PDVD looses or forgets the hours of work I put in to get the cover art correct! It rescans and rebuilds my library every-time my drives are power cycled. It's unacceptable to put it mildly!

Clearly, PDVD can only be used as a player and nothing more. It's time for a real media server I guess, something like Plex, Kodi, Jriver among others. This is severely annoying to me since now it clearly takes 2 programs to do the job of 1. Even when PDVD works for cover art, have you ever seen a program get it this wrong? I mean, take the movie Cars for example, somehow it manages to find the the cover art in freekin Chinese...... I mean what gives?

It's too stupid for me to waste anymore time on, good player, but too stupid as a media server!
I have the same issue and yes it is major issue for me! PDVD17 had it right, this new version is useless. So much so I've been using VLC to play music since PDVD18 just shows me a useless grey play button/music icon in the middle of my screen. Seriously, who thinks this is somehow useful info over the folder/track list view we used to have? How many songs are in this folder.... I don't know, all I can see is a stupid grey music button in the middle of my screen. What number was the next song I wanted to listen to.... I don't know, all I can see is a stupid grey music button in the middle of my screen.

Yes, it's a major issue for music lovers!
