I've noticed if I do the following:

create a folder on the NAS called FILM
copy FILM.MKV into FILM folder
put image.jpg into FILM folder

When browsing to the folder structure, say: it's

NFSSHARE/2011/FILM

and I browse to NFSSHARE/2011

I will see the thumbnail image correctly AND that when I open the folder I only see 1 file, i.e. FILM.MKV.

I like this feature and thats what I want to happen. But it does do it every time.

Is there some rules in place as to how you have to name things to get this to work everytime? e.g. image.jpg has to be a certain size.

you should name the .jpg according to the movie name i.e. batman.avi should have batman.jpg in it.

cheers,

Can I have folder images and movie images at the same time?
I have a folder with some movies in. For each movie I have a preview image: movie1.mkv -> movie1.jpg, movie2.mkv -> movie2.jpg, asf.
Now I put a "folder.jpg" into the folder to have a nice icon on that folder in the directory above. But now the folder images overrides all movie images and all movies get the same icon.
What did I wrong?

Try renaming folder.jpg to 0001.jpg. I use it all the time....

What version of firmware are you using, This works correctly wit r7317.

When I rename the file to 0001.jpg, it's not recognized at all. The folder icon shows one of the movie images. I run Firmwar r7317. Any suggestions?

There's something funny going on here. I am also using 7317 and have my folders structured like so:-

Movies->Action

In the Action directory, I have for example the following files:-

0001.jpg
Blade.mkv
Blade.jpg
Easy Rider.mkv
Easy Rider.jpg
Matrix.mkv
Matrix.jpg

Whn I use file manager and navigate to the Movies directory, the Action directory is shown with the 0001.jpg image. I have this working for literally hundreds of movies and thousands of TV shows.

Are you sure that you haven't got the Windows extension display turned off and renaming them incorrectly or something? Also, don't forget as the player runs Linux, it is case sensitive.

Well, that's exactly what I did, but it didn't work for me.
The file is named "0001.jpg" now, no way to mess up the case except for the extension, but I'm sure it's lowercase and unique. Forgot to mention that the files are located on a Samba-Share on my server. Do you have local files on a USB Disk or do you use a NAS or something?

Best regards,

Actually, I use both NAS, Win shares and local USB.

I will do some resaerc/checking/testing and get back to you.

Tested on USB local disks, Windows shares and NAS 200.

All working fine. 0001.jpg displays at folder level and then movies use individual jpgs when I navigate to folder.

There has to be something funny happening here.

Can you set up a windows share and drop a couple of files in it and test?

Did you get this resolved?
