Ok, First, for "My Movies" to add the data automatically, (when I say automatically, what I mean is it will gather the cover art & metadata and apply it to your movie, you still need to do a little work for the FAT+ to see your cover art) you need to have your movie files in a seperate folder, with the folder name being the name of the movie.
NOTE: This works if your movie files are in DVD format, ISO, mkv & mp4 (I don't know if it works for avi's, wmv or any other format) (For mkv & mp4's I recomend naming the movie file the same as your movie & placing it in a folder of the same name) (For DVD format, there is no need in renaming the video file names, just make the folder the same name as your movie).
Now, if you have that, open My Movies Collection Manager, the go to "File", click on "Import", click on "Folder Content". A "Browse for Folder" widow should open up, click on the Drive &/or the Folder (select the main Folder, it will import all the data for all the movies in that folder) where your movies are stored then click "Ok".
Once it gets through collecting the cover art & metadata, go to the left side of "My Movies", where there should be a list of your movies. Click on each one to make sure that it has the correct cover art for your movie. If it doesn't, right click on the the movie (in the list on the left), then click "Change Title Source and Data", and a window should pop up. Select the "By Title" tab and in the "Movie Title" box type the title of your movie and click "Search. A list of movies will show up at the bottom, select the one you want to change your cover art to and then click "Change".
Now, for your FAT+ to see the cover art, for your movie you well need to go to the folder were you have your movie and open it. You should see a file named "folder" which will be the front cover art for your movie. DO NOT DELETE OR RENAME THIS FILE, you will want it if you use it on "Windows Media Center". Copy the file named "folder" and then paste it in the same folder. It should say something like "folder-copy" (if your on Windows 7), now rename it the same name of your movie (the same name of your containing folder). That's it, you should have all your movie cover art.
Oh, and you will want to delete the folder ".Theater" before you go and plug your hard drive back into your FAT+. Don't worry though, your FAT+ will rebuild this folder. If you don't delete it though, you may not see all your cover art. You need to do this everytime you add new movies.
Also, if you have a box set, like Matrix, Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions. To make your FAT+ keep them in the right order, you should name them with 1, 2, 3, etc., ie: name your movies, Matrix 1, Matrix 2 - Reloaded and Matrix 3 - Revolutions. If you don't your movies may not stay in the right order.
WINDOWS 7, NETWORK PROBLEMS:
So, you have Windows 7, but you can't get your FAT+ to log on to the network. Well here's some instructions to help you get around that:
First go to the Control Panel, then select Network & Sharing Center, then on the left pane select "Change advanced sharing settings".
Then select in the settings:
Turn on network discovery
Turn on file & printer sharing
Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read & write files in the Public folders
on Media Streaming (I'll come back to that)
Enable file sharing for devices that use 40 -or 56-bit encryption
Turn off password protected sharing
Now make sure you have the same setting for both Home or Work & Public profiles
For the Media Streaming, select "Chose media streaming options...", the on the "Show devices on:" dropdown box select "All networks". You should then see something that says "Unknown Device", make sure that it has "Allow" beside it.
IF that doesn't work, try this:
Click Start and type Regedit in the search and click Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following location in the registry editor.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\
1. On the right side Double Click on everyoneincludesanonymous and in the window that pops up, change the value data from a 0 value to a 1
2. Double Click on NoLmHash and in the window that pops up, change the Value Data from a 1 value to a 0
3. Now navigate to the following location in the registry editor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Double Click on restrictnullsessaccess and change the 1 value to a 0
Reboot your pc and you should now be able to connect to your pc from you Freeagent Theater+
This works for me, I also have my drives shared with full access on my LAN
You will still see the Login screen just click OK and you should have access to your drives.

This should also work with Vista.
Here a link for WINDOWS XP network problems. (Give a few Kudos to bodhi78 for this one)
PROBLEMS UPDATING YOUR FIRMWARE:
If your having problems updating your firmware, weather your installing PLAYDUDES modified 1.26 firmware, the 1.27 FIRMWARE or the new 1.45 FIRMWARE, I have only 2 words for you COLD METHOD. This will solve most of your updating problems. Also, I would suggest that you use a blank USB stick and make sure that you only extract the "install.img" file to your USB stick. DO NOT just copy the .zip file to your USB stick, you will not be able to update your firmware.
UPDATE (3-21-10): The APAC version of the 1.45 fw is just an empty zip file. The moderator (AlanM) has been notified, but it is unknown when this will be fixed.
THIS HAS NOW BEEN CORRECTED
