Does MB support customized thumbnail and backdrop for home videos folders

[somy 24]

Hi, I have home videos collection in MB organized in folders, and I'd like to ask if it is possible to define thumbnail and/or backdrop for each folder in MB?

I tried to put folder.jpg, thumbnail.jpg and backdrop.jpg without luck. Thanks in advance!

Just gave this a test with a root folder added to the library with a content type of home videos. The test movie inside that folder used the images I added correctly, folder.jpg/poster.jpg, backdrop.jpg/fanart.jpg etc

Yes, that should work but you can also use the web interface to download and upload images.

Indeed.  Ionly manually dropped them in as I already had a folder with them in open so was easier than opening a server window

Thank you for your help!

Hmmm, I can get folder.jpg work but couldn't get fanart.jpg/backdrop.jpg to work. 

I have multiple files in the same folder, could that be the reason?

Yes.  The naming convention doc doesn't define support for backdrops when movies are not in their own folder.  I'm not sure if that is correct or just a shortcoming in the new docs.  You can try {moviename}-backdrop.jpg and see if that works.

Hi ebr,

Can you point me to the naming convention doc? Thank you very much!
