Main posters are displayed on overview with set placeholder

[D1sk 4]

I want to show my self made AMV's. I have tested around and found that this works best for category movies, so it is also possible to show making of as an extra.
Home videos or music videos do not work at all.

Something I do not understand
Why are posters not filled in for movies if they are sources you created yourself and EMBY can't find on tvdb imdb and co?

How can I solve the problem that the posters are displayed as they are filled in for the movies?

If you then click on the content, the poster is then displayed correctly

I don't quite understand your question, can you elaborate a bit and give an example?

What do I have to do so that they are displayed the same as movies I also tried to directly copy a poster from the movies in one of the folders but even then the poster is still not filled out.

Placeholders take shape of primary type image that majority of your items have - in your example, you have 5 recognized movies (with posters, portrait orientation) and 6 unindetified AMVs (with screengrabs, landscape orientation), so your library attempts to fit all images in landscape placeholders. For that library, you have Screen Grabber enabled under Image Fetchers - since those AMV items cannot be found with the providers (hence no artwork available), Emby is taking a frame out of your actual video file, as per your library settings/Screen Grabber enabled. You need to have 2:3 ratio Primary-type image available within each AMV folder named in one of the supported naming conventions:

Video images

Images are supported in video folders. Below is a table of the supported image file names. Supported image extensions are jpg, jpeg, png, gif and tbn.

Several image types support multiple file names. They are listed in the order that they're checked for.

Image Type	Supported file names
Primary	{name}.ext
	{name}-poster.ext
	{name}-cover.ext
	{name}-default.ext
	{name}-movie.ext
	folder.ext
	poster.ext
	cover.ext
	default.ext
	movie.ext

Scan media library afterwards. 

Or have more recognized movies with associated posters than AMVs in that library.
