Odd. I'm not really sure.

Are using the same view mode as I showed in that screenshot?

Yup, I think its the same view (see attached) and I have now tried with several movies and I have renamed the files to make sure no weird characters are hiding.

I think I got the logic wrong, and it's only doing it if the thumb.png exists, but other metadata doesn't. If you delete the other files, and just leave the thumb.png, then it'll probably show up.

Yes, it seems to only work for png files and if no poster (moviename.jpg) is present.

sub, are you planning a patch for this? or do I need to "live with it" Smile

I really do not want to delete any of the files (posters) I have.

I can give you a patch, but you'll need to remind me in a few days. I'm a bit busy with day job stuff at the moment.

sub, a few days has passed Smile

any chance you will have some time over for a patch?

Many thanks,
