Sorry, no I still haven't made this change.

Sub,

I see there is a new release coming in a near future. Has this change made it through this time?

Thanks,

When this is added: This seems to be a "OR" situation instead of a config, right? I mean, if this file exists, NPVR should just ignore the other files as this one should contain the sum of the individual files. If this file does NOT exist, then use the individual files.

It'd allow the user to use either type depending on the files they have without a configuration. I'm interested because I'm OCD about organizing my movie collection AND making it pretty.

Does that make sense?

Sub, I am still hoping for this feature. Any chance for the next release?

I've added support for this in the next release.

Sub, I did not see anything about this in the change log and I have also tried to find a settning for it in the config.xml but I cannot figure out how this functionality has been implemented.

Thanks,

If you have a <moviename>.thumb.jpg or <moviename>.thumb.png, then it show the bitmap when that video is highlighted in the video library list view.

I just checked it was still working here. Pretty ugly looking, but here is a screenshot. You'd probably have to tweek the skin to display it how you want.

That is weird, this is exactly what i tried but it is not working here. I have the following files for a movie but it is only displaying the origingal poster <moviename>.jpg and if i move/rename that file no picture is shown at all.

Perhaps try emptying your Thumbs cache directory (eg C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Thumbs).
