XBMCnfoMoviesImporter poster issue

I used a program called VIMediaManager to create my nfo files, download posterart etc. I wanted this to import into plex (versus using the online searches), but also so I could use these files on my Kodi installation. I copied the movie into my movie folder as such:

Movies

      RED (2010)

                RED (2010).m4v
                RED (2010).nfo
                RED (2010)-poster.jpg
                RED (2010)-fanart.jpg
                RED (2010)-banner.jpg
                logo.png, landscape.jpg, disc.png, clearart.png, then some additional folders

If I click on the pencil, I noticed there was no clip art there. I looked at the actual RED (2010)-poster.jpg file and it was blank. So, I downloaded one myself from IMDB and replaced the RED (2010)-poster.jpg file with the one from IMDB. I can view view the poster on my desktop. I tried several methods to force a re-import (refresh metadata, scan new media, etc). I even went as far as deleting the library and starting over, but those same 12 movies (out of over 800 imported in this fashon) didn’t have the poster imported. So, I manually edited it Plex, manually told it where the file was, and now it’s there. If I delete the library (I did because my collections where’t right and I couldn’t figure out how else to resolve other than to start over). Anyway, those posters still aren’t there on those 12 movies. If I click on the pencil, it’s there just not selected. How can I figure out why those 12 won’t import like the other 800?

Are there more databases need to clear if I have to start the library over? I really don’t want to sift through every each time if I’m doing something dumb for these 12. :slight_smile:

I appreciate any words of advice. I’m at a lose.
