folder.jpg Noob Question

bstephens103 · 2006-01-20, 17:41

Can someone please tell me how folder.jpg works. I hear people talk about it but I can not find a topic on how to use it.

assuming it works as it does for xbmc.

Cover art for music & movies can be stored with the files on the local directory or remote share that is hosting them, by merely copying the appropriate image to the folder & renaming the image 'folder.jpg'.

I frequently grab DVD art and music artwork from Amazon.com & just drag & drop the image to my folder & rename.

there may be size restrictions etc.. I typically try to find a 200x200 pixel image.

You are correct Slack. I haven't seen a file size limit though it would be better to have a smaller file that will display quicker.
