[QUOTE="JonL, post: 192608, member: 58025"] Hi, I apologize if my searches were not futile and this has been answered before. It would seem there is a simple answer to my question, but I am very new to Media Portal, so that makes me a beginner to HTPCs all over again. In MCE, I could name a file [i]Folder.jpg[/i] and that would be the default thumbnail for the folder I placed it in when viewing it from the next level up. For MP, I have finished setting up my movie database with poster views for all files and noticed it is handled much in the same way, from a viewing standpoint, as in MCE. It appears the whatever the first image file is becomes the default thumbnail for that folder in MP. For example, my folder structure is \\servername\videoshare. The first file in that folder is [i]10 Items Or Less.avi[/i] If I go to my share root, the \\servername\videoshare folder thumbnail is that of [i]10 Items Or Less.avi[/i]. That is not a big deal for me. However, I have some folders that have TV series in it that I did not populate my database with and so have no thumbnail image except the default for the Xface skin. I would like to put a single image in the Media folder so that those folders have a thumbnail - even if the individual files do not. Make sense? Can anyone give me a hint on this? Thanks! :thx: [/QUOTE]
